An analysis of student reflections from exit interviews of graduatingstudents from 2018 and 2019 cohorts and journal entry data collected from students from therecent 2023 cohort is presented in this work. The themes emerging from this analysis show thatboth graduating students and current students seek to strengthen the RAMP community beyondthe summer program. Their recommendations point to the need for continuing support in bothpersonal achievement and for advocating the needs of their peers. With over a hundred RAMPparticipants now established across the engineering majors and the workforce, theserecommendations will be integrated in the participatory action research framework that anchorsthe design of RAMP.

]. In the Arab world, which comprises 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa andhas a population of over 444 million, women make up approximately half of the population [8],[9]. However, Arab women continue encountering challenges in STEM fields, particularly inengineering. According to UNESCO and the World Bank, as well as a study by Islam (2019), Arabwomen now enroll in STEM fields at high rates, with an average enrollment rate of 34-57% [1],[10], [11]. Figure 2 shows how the percentage of women who graduated from STEM varies amongArab countries. While some countries have high rates in the engineering field, others, such as SaudiArabia, have low rates. In contrast to other STEM fields, Arab women are less likely to engage in

Introduction and BackgroundGender imbalance in computing programs is a persisting issue not only at Farmingdale StateCollege (FSC), but also at the national and international level. The authors have taken a multi-faceted approach to balance the gender gap by running multiple support programs at FSC moreconsistently since fall 2019 [1].
