Onaverage, interviews lasted 40 minutes. All interviews took place in the university facilities whenstudents were available. Researchers used consent forms to comply with the Institutional ReviewBoard (IRB) requirements. All interviews were recorded and transcribed; the transcriptions wereused for the analysis. Researchers used Dedoose, a qualitative tool to help in the data analysis.Researchers started with the unitization of data, that is, every piece of information that can beunderstood by itself is classified under a theme and then reclassified using

We hosted threeseparate sessions, having each of the groups participating separately. Sessions that involvedGroups S and F were conducted face-to-face, while the Group A session was held via Zoom Ⓡ.For the face-to-face session, we provided coffee, biscuits and other food for the attendees. Inboth formats, participants were formally welcomed and then we introduced the dynamics andobjectives of the sessions. Then we proceed to ask them to read and sign the informed consentdocument as part of the ethical framework of the research, which included consent to have

for the retention of first-year students [10]. A report entitled“STEM Students & Their Sense of Belonging: S-STEM Programs’ Practices & EmpiricallyBased Recommendations” identifies cohort experiences as an important factor in academicintegration and success [9]. Offering retention programs is valuable, but if students do not attendor participate, they will not receive the maximum benefits that these programs can provide.Students are more likely to participate in retention programs if they feel a sense of communitywithin the institution [9]. Furthermore, female engineering students, who have been found tohighly value the sense of connectedness, benefit from the positive impact of a supportivecommunity, enhancing their resilience. Thus

-rebound process, and 3)indirect policies with equity impacts. Our data does suggest that underrepresented women ofcolor are less likely to be enrolled in undergraduate engineering education over time in anti-affirmative action states (independent of the specific ban timing). A key take-away from thisfinding is that affirmative action bans may be a symptom of preexisting “chilly” conditionswithin a state. In comparison to other historically excluded groups, UWOCE students maytherefore be more concerned with or impacted by the perceived social and political climate of thestates in which they seek to study. We conclude by echoing Ong et al.’s argument [25] that thechanges necessary to foster belonging for all students in engineering education

TheEmerging Scholars Program involved students solving challenging calculus 1 problems inworkshops in which trained graduate students facilitated the problem-solving process usingSocratic questioning and offering help when necessary. Subsequent research by Treismanindicated that offering freshmen a non-threatening, small-group but challenging environment toexplore math concepts impacts participants' success in these subjects and motivates them topersist [10], [11], [12].Funded by the National Science Foundation, the PLTL model was first developed for GeneralChemistry at the City College of New York in the early 1990’s and later extended to math,biology and engineering courses. The PLTL model has become a nationally recognized andreplicated model of
while discussing our research findings withthe deans, which ensured their continued support as we developed and launched the workshop.Throughout the process of presenting the workshops, we found participation among chairs wasunusually high. This was likely because the dean’s office in each college was responsible forcoordinating the scheduling and RSVPs for their respective event(s). In some cases, deans orassociate deans stayed for the full workshop, which added importance and urgency to the topic,as it demonstrated commitment at the highest levels within the college.Reflecting on how we were able to successfully engage with the deans to garner support for ourworkshop, we likely benefitted from increased institutional attention to the
initially developed by and associates to explain workplace dynamics [13], [15],[16], [19], [40], [41] and additional research that has demonstrated the utility of this conceptwith respect to postsecondary institutions. We know comparatively little about whichspecific characteristics of postsecondary institutions are associated with women’srepresentation in STEM fields overall (but see [13], [26]), never mind specific STEM fields,such as CS&E. Our approach is also informed by Fox et al.’s [13] recent work, whichsuggests that gendered organizational dynamics and initiatives play out vividly at the sub-unitlevel (college/department/program), depending on the centrality and status of a particular unitwithin the academic institution.

Given the smallnumber of women in the computing programs and the number of those students who participatedin the initiatives, the number of potential respondents was low. Future work includes addingqualitative analysis to the research considering the small number of participants in the study.Additionally, this study did not look to identify the impact of each initiative individually, andthereby can be a limitation. However, this study investigated the initiatives in aggregate. Theresults of this study support [12]’s assertion for the need of multi-pronged institutionalapproaches to
