compassionand empathy with respect to education (numbers identified in Table 2). A Web of Science search[48] found that the term empathy (or empathetic) was a much more common idea in highereducation and engineering than compassion, which in turn was much more common thankindness. Papers that resulted from the search on kindness and education were generally relatedto PK12 or medical settings (nursing and medical school). The pre-college papers tended tofocus on teaching kids and students to be kind in their behavior toward peers and more broadly.This had a focus on fostering kindness in pupils among an array of prosocial behaviors,sometimes included with social-emotional education.

Past studies have indicated that students withADHD have an extremely high risk of academic failure and dropout, and are more than twice aslikely than their peers without ADHD to leave university. Traditional engineering programs arefailing to attract and retain neurodiverse learners, and thus do not benefit from these students’high potential for creative thinking. The disconnect between the traditional educationenvironment and the abilities of students with ADHD is not unique to higher education. In fact,high school students with ADHD have significantly lower GPAs and are over eight times morelikely to drop out

To helpstudents actively recognize the diversity among their peers. Librarians can get a sense ofclassroom diversity by looking at the results of the survey. However, that alone does not advancethe concept of inclusion. According to McNair, inclusion is the “active, intentional, and ongoing engagement withdiversity—in the curriculum, in the co-curriculum, and in communities (intellectual, social,cultural, geographical) with which individuals might connect—in ways that increase awareness,content knowledge, cognitive sophistication, and empathic understanding of the complex

, or support graduate students, it was examined carefully to determinewhether it was in fact accurate to call it a bridge program. The term “bridge” was interpreted in afairly broad sense, with the key characteristic being that such a program was designed to helpstudents who were not as well prepared for their program as their peers to bridge that gap, suchthat they were prepared to be successful. One definition that could be used would be that a bridgeprogram is one that is not part of a degree program’s standard curriculum, is designed to preparestudents academically and otherwise for success in that curriculum, and enrolls a cohort ofstudents in the program. By this definition, papers such as [6] were quite ambiguous, as the focusin this
