these efforts, first-generation students are stillless likely than their peers to persist or graduate from college [4] and there is the need forcolleges to understand the skills that first-generation students bring to college, and the skills thatthey perceive to be important to help them succeed in their coursework.The low number of women studying engineering at colleges continues to also be a problem,despite the efforts to increase the representation of women. According to the 2022 AmericanSociety of Engineering Education (ASEE) report, women made up only 25.5% of the totalundergraduate engineering enrollment compared to men at 74.5% [5]. The retention rates forwomen undergraduate engineering students are also highly concerning, as 22.7% of

study related to asset-basedpractices.2. BackgroundAppreciative Inquiry is often used as a themed methodology of conducting interviews [5], [6],[7] or focus groups [8], [9] and as an organizational change framework in higher education [8],[10], [11], [12], [13]. A preliminary search for APPI in the ASEE PEER database and a search for“engineering education AND appreciative inquiry” across abstracts, keywords, or titles onProQuest databases yielded only around 37 results. Those studies that do discuss APPI primarilyreference the method for structuring interviews for data gathering [5], [6], [7]. The next mostcommon use of APPI was as a framework for guiding organizational change in severaleducational contexts, including but not limited to

. Despite the growing number of papersand discussions in academic forums like the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE), there is no universally accepted strategy for integrating sustainability into theengineering curriculum. In efforts to integrate sustainability into undergraduate engineering curricula, variousstrategies and pedagogies are explored, but a universally accepted approach is yet to beestablished. Sustainability initiatives can be implemented at different levels within educationalinstitutions, including departmental, individual, school, or university-wide strategies. This studyfocuses on individual-level efforts and adopts an integrated approach, which is widely consideredpreferable, to incorporate sustainability into

demands (assignment, projects, internships, etc.), and the social pressures of engaging withpeers, and faculty. The microcosm of the college campus can be challenging for students, where some areleaving the familiarity of home and family to join spaces where they can be isolated. Prior researchsuggests that being socially connected can help to alleviate stress (Achat et al., 1998). Research alsoshows that minoritized student populations experience more barriers to persistence in STEM highereducation compared to white students and certain Asian populations due to the added stress of racismfaced by these populations (Harper, 2010; Pawley, 2019). Racial stress can manifest due to phenomenalike isolation, stereotype threat and microaggressions at
making connections and helping students and faculty” [8, p. 150]. In 2019,Corrall and Jolly describe this shift as “the social turn in library innovation”, where librariansfocus more on “community-oriented service models” rather than strictly collections [9, p. 122].In this community-oriented approach, librarians take a holistic view of the student experienceand aim to support students beyond the classroom [9]. In 2020, the Association of College andResearch Libraries (ACRL) identified “supporting well-being on campuses” as one of the toptrends in academic libraries [9, p.4], [10]. And while the end goal may be the same - to helpstudents find and access information [6] - librarians are increasingly doing so by supporting non-academic campus
