Graduate students can provide insightsregarding graduate programs' inner workings that directly benefit their institutions' academicprograms. For instance, analyzing the students' perspectives regarding courses, roles, andrelationships with supervisors is essential for programs to improve best practices [9]. In ourwork, we consider how our relationships with supervisors/mentors can influence the ways weconceptualize our development as researchers and designers.Graduate students are not just student researchers; they are developing faculty members andindustry professionals.

A thorough design, redesign, and review process was implemented to develop thesurvey using relevant research questions and best practices. Questions within the survey askedparticipants to report their relationship with HBCUs, their current role related to HBCUs, theirtime affiliated with HBCUs, information about the HBCU with which they were affiliated,factors impacting president/chancellor turnover, the impact of turnover on the university, andparticipant demographic information. The survey consisted of
