development of student’s STEM identity which isparticularly influential for underrepresented students in STEM [15], [17], [18], [32]. “Therecognition of oneself as a scientist” [16] or an emerging STEM professional, promotes students’sense of belonging and builds their STEM identity [16]. STEM identity development can bepromoted through student engagement in undergraduate research, as well as curricular and co-curricular learning experiences [15], [32]. Additionally, having opportunities to engage with andbe acknowledged as a member of the STEM community by faculty, peers, and other STEMagents, in both professional and social spaces, is important [15], [17], [18]. Student’s exposureand ability to engage with STEM role models, mentors, and culturally

asked respondents to indicate on a4-point Likert scale (1, “Not at all likely” to 4, “Very likely”) their likelihood of pursuing a positionafter obtaining their graduate degree. In particular, students were asked about their interest inpursuing a variety of careers including faculty positions: “How likely are you to pursue a positionas a university faculty member with an emphasis on teaching?” and “How likely are you to pursuea position as a university faculty member with an emphasis on research?” Other career trajectorieswere also assessed, including likelihood to pursue a position in industry, a start-up company,government, nonprofit organization, or a postdoctoral fellowship.Health: To evaluate mental and physical health, the surveys

bereavement within academia, particularly among graduate students and faculty,remains limited. Academics, especially women, already grapple with a myriad of demands, andgrief adds another layer of emotional, physical, and psychological challenges, disrupting work-life balance [11]. As grief in academia is multifaceted, there is a need for supportive andinclusive environments that acknowledge and address the diverse experiences of grief amongwomen in academia.Work-Life BalanceWork-life balance can be defined as the act of managing the responsibilities and roles that aperson assumes both in their workplace and personal life while being fully engaged in each roleand demonstrating an attitude of attentiveness and care [19], [20].

Similarly,McHugh and colleagues [9] developed an on-campus internship model to increase computingstudents' employability preparedness from both the students’ and employers’ perspectives. Theauthors find that by understanding the expectations of employers and students, educators cantailor internship programs to better align with industry needs, thus enhancing students’ chancesof success in the job market. Furthermore, some studies highlight the significance of internshipsin improving computing students’ employability skills and career prospects [7], [8], [9].

personal connections they may notshare with a more senior mentor. Near-peer mentors are often perceived as more in tune with thestruggles of their mentees [1] and more approachable than an individual who identifies as an“expert” scientist [2]. Examples of near-peer mentoring relationships in academia include anupper-level student and a first-year student, an undergraduate student and a graduate student, or agraduate student and a new faculty member. Near-peer mentoring can positively affect both the mentor and the mentee. Studentmentees have stated that they feel more comfortable asking a near-peer mentor for academic helpthan they do a professor [3] and believe access to near-peer mentors promotes success in theircoursework [4].
