funding will aid inthe development of broader institutional change. A major development being undertaken in theproject’s fifth year will be the development of greater connections between our institution andother similar RED grant institutions. The collaboration with other RED institutes will allow theRevED team to have deeper connections with colleagues who wish to change their institutionsand enable broader research in diversity and inclusion.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation underIUSE/PFE:RED Grant No. 1623053.

each switch to theirrespective next room (we numbered the rooms) for a three-minute conversation with the nextmentor. After the students were with their second mentor, we broadcasted the next conversationprompt. We did a total of five rounds, so that by the end of the session, each student had spokento five mentors. We used the following conversation prompts for each round: 1) Which would you choose? And, why? ● Option A: one year with Oprah ● Option B: one year with Bill Gates ● Option C: $1,000,000 2) Exchange your career hopes. 3) Share about an academic or professional experience you are proud of. 4) In what positive way(s) have you grown and changed during the shelter-at-home experience?

It has become a full-fledged partof his everyday activities.The program has deepened relationships between STEM faculty at HS and UP, and it has exposed39 students to a school down the street that few of them had ever considered.After three years of the program, the students feel more at home on a college campus, and perhapsmore excitingly (for the instructor), I feel incredibly at home in a classroom of high schoolstudents.References[1] L.

was 1.54% higher than the increases in non-veteran student grades in theMECH 351 section that contained no veteran students. This initial conclusion drives the point thatveterans are an asset in the classroom and that leveraging their professionalism, leadership skills,and adaptability can have a positive influence on non-veteran student academics. Future work willfollow additional veterans to increase the study’s sample size and to enhance the ability to performa statistical analysis on the results. Additionally, the authors are looking to expand the research toinclude findings from other institutions to study the broader impacts of veteran presence in theclassroom.References[1] M. Kirchner, L.

first year seminar, it is important for the cohort to include both studentsinterested in science majors as well as those interested in engineering majors because studentsare in either the School of Engineering or the School of Arts and Sciences. This inclusion allowsstudents to meet peers they would not normally interact with. This cohort model enablesstudents to broaden their perspectives as they potentially encounter students with interestsdifferent from their own.The RISE first year seminar is now offered in the fall and spring semesters, as a year-longopportunity for a cohort of s 25-30 students. The fall semester focuses on academicpreparedness and acclimates students to their college environment by introducing them to facultyand support

The learning goals we set for the new program differ fromthe prior outcome goals. Hence we will need to treat Before/After comparisons very carefully.

theory, this identity drives future activity.In Finklestein (2008)’s study, motive becomes unimportant in sustaining volunteerism once a volunteerrole identity forms. It is also important to note that motivations can change, and it may not always reflecttheir initial motive and reasons for staying. Therefore, organizations should focus on recruitment andretaining volunteers that attract a diverse pool of individuals.Organizations will be able to recruit from a larger pool of individuals by ensuring that the task satisfiesthe diverse functions of the volunteers’ needs. Researchers reveal that if volunteer recruits can find taskswith benefits that match their personal motives, their volunteering efforts will result in higher satisfactionand

Even with this profile,the ECI 5-day participants outperformed the latter group in two outcomes: change in mathmastery and first math course GPA. The ECI 6-week program did have a slightly higher numberof students who entered into Calculus I based on ALEKS after completing the program.There are tradeoffs for decreasing the number of in-person program days, but the essence of thesafe space was maintained. In the future, it would be valuable to determine if the new model stillaids in underrepresented minority student retention and graduation.References[1] S. Wischusen and E.W.

hands-on labs which require only a single virtual machine, container-based solutions, such asProxMox VE (OpenVZ) and Docker, should be considered. They are easy to set up and do notrequire much resources. These types of labs can also be hosted on a public cloud such as GCP orAWS. For hands-on labs using a complex virtual environment with multiple virtual machines, aprivate cloud may be a better choice. Private cloud and public cloud can be complementary and beused together to improve online learning experience.References 1 T. Ercan, "Effective use of cloud computing in educational institutions."
