Faculty Professional DevelopmentAbstractThe research associated with this project is made possible by a National Science Foundationgrant. Minoritized students (MS) (defined in this work as African American and Latinx) oftenexperience increased instances of exclusionary academic environments compared to theirnon-minoritized counterparts [1]. As a result, MS are more likely than their peers to attrit fromtheir STEM majors. Faculty play a significant role in the development of either a positive ornegative academic culture. For this reason, there is a need to bring meaningful facultyengagement into the classroom to address the challenge of STEM degree completion disparitiesbetween MS and non-MS students. To directly address STEM faculty’s perception
