for STEM and focusing ondeveloping personal connections, students are more likely to identify these providers as rolemodels [11-12].Our initial goal was to gain a better understanding of whether students view these outreacheducators as role models. In the first year of the project, we directly asked students to identifytheir role models and whether they thought of their EOEs as role models. Consistent withprevious research on children’s role models [13], students most often mentioned family membersas role models, followed by celebrities (e.g., athletes, singers), teachers and fellow classmates,with only a handful citing EOEs. Reasons provided by students for choosing these role modelswere split among what role models do as careers or hobbies

Therefore, ASCENT is designed to: 1. address the problem of slow progress towards graduation among talented yet low-income students in MATH and CS, 2. enhance existing bonds and build new ones between LU and CC in the area, and 3. enhance upper-level experience in MATH and CS by building strong diverse studentcohorts, easing the transition of transfer students to upper-level work.

There were measurements taken on the inserts and themolded parts to validate calculations and specified dimensions. This development procedure willserve as guideline for future parts.
