Such research can then inform future pedagogical practices, curriculum design,evaluation plans, and resource allocation to contribute to a more inclusive and diverse STEMlearning environment and resultantly, the future STEM workforce.ReferencesBattel, K., Foster, N., Barroso, L.

SCI is a ten-week domestic research program in which sophomore and juniorstudents complete quantum-related research internships with faculty at an urban university.This study is timely given that science and engineering (S&E) research is an increasinglyinternational effort. In its 2015 Science Indicators, the most recent year available, the NationalScience Board noted that 33% of science and engineering papers published in the U.S. in 2013were internationally coauthored; at the same time international citations among papers by U.S.authors increased from 43% to 53% between 1996 – 2012 [1]. This shows the increasingimportance of international research and collaborations for science & engineering researchers inthe U.S. Furthermore, in

negatively [5,6,7].Thus, more effective support for community college students transferring to four-yearinstitutions is needed to ensure their success [8]. One way to address this situation and secure thesuccess of transfer students is the creation of programs that provide institutionalized support totransfer students post-transfer. The NSF funded S-STEM scholarship programs are one exampleof such institutionalized support programs.They not only provide financial support to thestudents, but also have students engage in co-curriculum cohort activities including mentoring,academic advising, tutoring, social activities and career development activities [9].However, to develop the best support system possible, we need to have a clear understanding
inpsychological studies [22-26]. The continued curiosity in the theory of identity is attributed to thesignificance of understanding an individual in social settings and how they appear in society.Identity theory proposes individuals have several identities framed in hierarchal order. Commonly,identity is considered as categories used to establish the societal role for an individual. A coreobjective of identity theory is to indicate how the categories associated to an individual’s differentidentities are assigned and controlled during interactions. In the late 60’s Erik Erikson positedidentity formation essential to the development of an adolescent. Erikson’s framing of identityconsiders a process dually positioned in the core of an individual and
