Patrick Quin describes Aquinas’Super de Trin.2.4 “that theological truth is best transmitted to the faithful in parabolic form… itmight, he thinks, confuse the uneducated who would misunderstand it and be ridiculed byunbelievers who detest it anyway” [10]. Aquinas states: “…it is said in Luke 8:10, ‘To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables.’ Therefore one ought by obscurity in speech conceal the sacred truths from the multitude” (Pars 1 q. 2 a. 4 s. c. 3). “…the words of a teacher ought
].One of the conclusions from Deardorff (2006)’s study is that intercultural scholars and highereducation administrators did not define intercultural competence in relation to specificcomponents. Instead, both groups preferred definitions that were broader in nature [15].However, there was an 80% agreement on these skills. Using the items on which 80% or more ofboth the intercultural scholars and administrators agreed, Deardorff (2006) organized these itemsinto two visual ways of defining intercultural competence that could be used as a framework byadministrators and others in their work in developing and accessing intercultural competence[15].

departments, suggests that engineering culture can shift if programs, schools, anddepartments actually enact the university’s espoused DEI values.Contrasting with the primarily descriptive approach taken by researchers cited above, Bates and hercolleagues invoke Schein’s model of culture in a more agentic manner. Their paper documents thedevelopment of two new project-based engineering programs seeking accreditation.18 Their intention to“build a more inclusive culture for tomorrow’s engineers” differs from Godfrey and Parker’s use ofculture as a vehicle for ethnographic insight about an existing institutional context.18 Bates et al.’s callfor change urges us to view engineering culture as malleable. Along the same vein, Tonso,19 Riley,20Kim et al,21
. González, et al noted that they attempted to “represent households in a way that isrespectful to issues of voice, representation, and authenticity” [4, p. X]. We followed that lead inreceiving and studiously responding to the nuances of markers that participants in our researchstudy shared with us, as they assessed our trustworthiness. With our focus on stewardship, werespectfully received the stories they chose to share with us, recognizing that they contributedvaluable knowledge with each story they shared.Use of markers in qualitative analysisRobert S. Weiss defined a marker, in the context of qualitative interview studies, as “a passingreference made by a respondent to an important event or feeling state.” [2] In an example, hestated that
Continuous ImprovementContinuous improvement should be a part of every program and course and having the benefit ofdesigning the program with a clean sheet gave us the opportunity to integrate continuousimprovement from the start, beginning with our courses. To assist, we created a slide format tosummarize what we learned and that we also use to discuss our new insights with our DataScience Advisory Council. For example, Figure 1, below, is an example for the course forstudents not ready for Calculus I. Our faculty completes them every year for their course, andwe use the feedback to improve the course and the student experience.

These forms consisted offive questions prompts and resulted in formative, reflective reports that captured theirexperiences at each visit and also acted as informal journals that they could use in the future toidentify trends, concepts and/or innovations that they found notable. The reports also served as arecord for their continued investigation into their individual inquiry question(s).Sector Reports: Upon return, participants were paired up on teams based on their specific area ofrenewable energy

surveyinstruments. Through analysis, patterns and themes emerged that the researchers positionedwithin the theoretical concepts of sense of belonging and academic self-concept. 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

For each UDL feature, instructors rated their experience (novice toexpert) on the feature and the usefulness of the feature for their students.

qualitative data using various coding methods. Two research team members readthe reflections and compared results. One researcher read reflections sequentially by student bycategory and identified salient patterns across participants. For example, Reflection 1 fromStudent 1 in the top 10% increase category was read first, followed by Student 1’s Reflections 2and 3. Then, Reflection 1 from Student 2 in the top 10% increase category was read, and so on.A second researcher read each reflection to determine similarities and differences incharacteristics and analyze patterns across reflections. This research team member readreflections as they were written chronologically within each category. All Reflection 1 samplesin the 10% increase category were read

Over 730 of these programs will beevaluated by EAC.The objectives of this study were to: • gather input on best practices and opportunities for improvement in all elements of the virtual review, including pre-visit preparation, virtual “on-site” operations, team dynamics, communication and training, and • provide recommendations for future virtual reviewsResults of surveys, author(s)’ observations, and recommendations to improve future reviews -whether in-person or virtual - are presented in this paper.
