They foundthat the women had less of a computing identity as compared to the men and that the students inthe Information Technology (IT) program had a lower computing identity than the other students.These findings were based on a survey instrument that was designed to gauge students’computing identity.Our work draws upon existing best practices across STEM to implement a holistic model ofstudent support for computing students. We then use two validated survey instruments to measuredifferent facets of computing professional identity development among the participating students.Community-Engaged Scholars in Computer Science ProgramThe Community-Engaged
