Conferences ResourcesConferences Conferences offer a critical discussion meeting space for students and professionals toshare their work with peers in their areas and networks, as well as to engage with academic andindustry communities. Specifically, we searched to identify conferences that are dedicated tothe support and mentorship of minoritized students in computing and computer science. Weinitially included conferences that we were professionally aware of, including the AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) CoNECD conference, the RESPECT 2021conference, and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Annual Convention.Additional conferences were identified through Google searches that included the phrase“Black in computer

A key component of successful career work in engineering is the ability to work as a partof a collaborative group or team.

andevaluate sources, time that most disciplinary faculty do not have in addition to their regularcourse preparation. In addition to the time-consuming process of seeking out sources, we wereable to make connections between found materials and locate collections that could be of interestto multiple disciplines. Prior to beginning the project, we sought to determine if a course like RISalready existed by reaching out to our colleagues via the ASEE Engineering Libraries Division(ELD) listserv. There was interest among professional colleagues, but no existing collections tofill the need. We gained valuable skills in locating and evaluating sources that will aid in ourwork with faculty at Mines.Methodology for Seeking FeedbackFeedback from diverse

approach towards broaderparticipation. The engineering education community needs to recognize the often-neglectedstakeholder group of school counselors and the pivotal role counselors play in students’ careerpathways.Introduction There are several Interventions aimed at counselors in supporting STEM broaderparticipation (Falco & Summers, 2019; reference redacted; Shillingford et al. 2017). Such effortsare complemented by studies that document the need to broaden participation and identify arole for or place an emphasis on school counselor interactions with students in shaping theirfuture decisions within STEM, particularly a desire to persist within STEM (Aschbacher et al.2010; Grossman & Porsche, 2014).

made its initial appearance in education when scholars expressed doubt about the 1956Brown vs. Board of Education ruling (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). Derrick Bell believed theruling pushed an agenda that benefited white elites of the country rather than the educationalwell-being of Black people, a phenomenon Bell (1980; 1995) referred to as interest convergence. In much the same way, traditional citation practices and the manuscript review processbenefit established scholars often with privileged identities (Mott & Cockyane, 2018).
