They were each coded twice – once withnarrative coding and then again with thematic coding.The Narrative codes included structures of storytelling such as aspects of plot such as conflict and resolutions,setting, and characters. Characters in the stories included the students, their home communities, elders & mentorson campus, peers, and the structures themselves.The thematic coding utilized the nine tenets of TribalCrit to determine which showed up in the stories ofIndigenous engineering students and determined

with visibleidentities is simpler, marginalized people with invisible identities also seek community [1] [2] [3][4]. One such group of invisible marginalized people in STEM are LGBTQ+ engineers, whonavigate a chilly, heteronormative climate in higher education [5] [6]. Additionally, prior studieshighlight how students with multiple-marginalized identities face more barriers than those withone or fewer marginalized identities [7] [8]. Students resist this chilly climate and can overcomethese barriers by forming communities of support, gaining power within the department, andinteracting with peers to create a more inclusive culture [2]. Resistance to this environment canbe influenced by the visibility of students’ marginalized identities [1

Some of these students enter the university withexisting mental health concerns; others develop mental health challenges during college. Awide range of backgrounds and factors can influence a students’ mental health and wellbeing:living and financial conditions [6], academic preparation [7], student-faculty interactions [8],food insecurity, and family responsibilities [3], and peer relationships [9]. These stressorshave wider impacts on student success [3]: a decrease in a student’s wellbeing can negativelyimpact their educational experiences, leading to academic dissatisfaction, resulting indecreased academic performance or attrition [10].

educators have sought to increase student motivation and success is through theuse of Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) (Hecht et al., 2020; Hulleman, Kosovich, Barron, &Daniel, 2017). UVIs typically take the form of short writing assignments that prompt students tothink about course content and the relationship that content might have to their own lives orgoals. UVIs have been used in STEM education as well as other disciplines to increasemotivation and a growing body of research has demonstrated positive student outcomes. Forexample, Hulleman et al. (2017) used UVIs in an introductory psychology course anddemonstrated their positive impact on interest, expectancy for success, and subsequentperformance. Relatedly, Kosovich, Hulleman, Phelps

synonymously in the literature; however, postgraduate can either refer to aperson who has earned a high school diploma or who has also earned a collegiate-level degree.Graduate students and undergraduate students often follow different paths in the academicenvironment. They serve divergent roles, face separate challenges, and have differentexperiences. Graduate students face obstacles beyond the classroom—in their ability to meetwith advisers, attend conferences, and develop social support from their peers—thatundergraduate students may not face [3]. Even in the classroom graduate students may beexpected to meet different expectations than their undergraduate counterparts. This may includea greater volume of reading and reading assignments provided

institutions the opportunity toinquire about the Black experience from Black students without the stigma of asking suchquestions in large groups with people unfamiliar with that experience. With respect to graduatestudents, the lack of palpable sources for professional development influenced therecommendation for graduate community spaces to prioritize writing retreats, peer mentoringand other activities critical to advancing students in their doctoral studies [11]. Participants at PWIs gave recommendations about inclusion which they believed wouldimprove if there were more Black faculty hired in engineering programs. The overall reasoningto increase Black faculty was for mentorship and guidance as they navigated spaces that weren’tinclusive

An Extension Services facilitator leads teams through a series of approximately 12monthly online meetings aligned with an academic calendar. During the online meetings, CLTsbuild community with peers, share knowledge, explore ideas, and support each other’s planningand implementation. Meeting topics, which are aligned with the Undergraduate Systemic ChangeModel, provide CLTs with knowledge to conduct self-assessment, develop strategic recruitmentand retention plans, and utilize evaluation data.

While they did not often directlylabel the sexism or racism they encountered, they also did not always feel that the field wasinclusive. Many were uncertain what could be done to improve the situation, however, studentssuch as Deanna (a Black female) suggested companies take the time to ask: I think it would, what’s one thing that could be really insightful is just...the very few that are in computing that are from diverse groups, I think if communication was with

After identifying a Chair and an“Assistant to the Chair/Vice Chair,” the Dean requested committee member nominations fromdepartment chairs and program directors to comprise the college-level search representativesfrom each tenure home and academic program in the CEAS. Although the number of positions tobe hired had not yet been set by the Provost, the Dean had requested six funded positions andproposed to match each of those with college-level funding. Therefore, although DepartmentChairs were not promised any specific outcomes, there was a general sense that mostdepartments would end up with at

The meeting agenda always included a portion on advising and transfer process and the remaining portion of the meeting were planned around student interests such as: study skills, resume writing, interviewing, choosing an engineering discipline and research opportunities. Every meeting also included a meal where students could catch up and socialize with each other.• University Visits. During the fall semester students in the program were invited to spend the weekend at VT for the University’s Open House. Students were introduced to the university and the surrounding area along with meeting other prospective transfer students as well has transfer students
