paper explores the external factors that influence international STEM postdoctoralscholars to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).Understanding these factors may be critical as the U.S. grapples with the need to broaden anddiversify participation in the global STEM workforce. Duffy and Dik (2009) identified four keyexternal factors that influence a person’s career decision: (1) family expectations and needs, (2)life circumstances, (3) spiritual and religious reasons, and (4) social service motivations. Usingan instrumental case study design (Stake, 1995), interviews with 20 international STEMpostdoctoral scholars occurred to explore the external factors that influenced their STEM careerdecision
Minoritized GraduateStudents in STEMIntroduction Many historically minoritized graduate students, here defined as Women, Latinx andBlack/African American students, in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)experience unwelcome or even hostile ecosystems or environments. Many of the socialexpectations are that historically minoritized graduate students in STEM should assimilate oracclimate to the cultural, where assimilation/acclimation are defined as cultural conformation vs.social acceptance of a student authentic self/identity. They may also experience forms ofcontinuous microaggressions and isolation. The effects of chronic external stressors, such asexperiencing discrimination and social isolation, on increased mental health

in STEM fields (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics), especially where fewer Hispanics (i.e., those whoself-identify as a descendant of a Spanish-speaking population or community [9]) pursue thesecareer paths, have a harder time finding a mentor who has the background that the mentee isseeking or a mentor who can serve as a good role model. As of 2020, the Hispanic population inthe U.S. was 18.7%, which experienced a high population growth of 23% between 2010-2020[11]. In STEM fields, however, only 8% of the STEM-related workers are Hispanic [5], and only7.68% of research doctorates were awarded to Hispanic people as of 2021 [10]. Therepresentation of Hispanics in STEM is increasing at a slow rate compared to the

This mentorship approach allows an individual to take on the role of bothmentor and mentee.A year-long omnidirectional mentorship program was developed and piloted at a Mid-Atlanticuniversity. This pilot program included ten faculty members, each at various stages of theircareer, from various departments: engineering, computer science, technology, biology,education, and graduate psychology. Assessment of this omnidirectional mentorship programoccurred through focus groups. The data from two mid-point focus groups provided insight intothe developed relationships among participants through their interactions in structuredgatherings. We qualitatively

This National Science Foundation (NSF) funded grant hasimplemented several programs to focus on critical transitions for students such as high school tocollege, two-year to four-year institution transfers, and those final years as students head towardgraduation. Ongoing activities funded by this grant include research experiences, transferpathways, and co-curricular activities. In 2020, a Scholar Program was also created at theuniversity to help support students as they make progress toward their baccalaureate degree.The outcomes for the Scholar program were for students to become more knowledgeable aboutthemselves and what they need to succeed in their academic and personal success

I have learned the do’s and don’ts of designing, and I really enjoyed the process as well.” “The component of this course that I enjoyed and valued the most was when we began working on our “Mars in the Making” project. I enjoyed and valued this project the most because it allowed us to gather all the skills and knowledge we picked up throughout the class and incorporate them into our very own machine, providing us with a taste of how engineering work would work in the real world.” “The Mars in the Making project was awesome as well.

These factors may lead to “knowledge-gaps,” meaning a student maybe inadequately prepared to understand a new topic

The trouble with white feminism is what it does and whom it suppresses” (p. 4).Schuller’s description suggests that inclusion isn’t really the key to addressing the problems that emergefrom white feminism: that, as might be obvious, is why we’re not writing about inclusion or equity ingeneral terms. Instead, we’re writing about accountability as a specific form of what Nigel Golden[6]might call “harm reduction.”In his 2020 Ambrose Jearld, JR., Lecture, Golden articulates the need for harm reduction in the academyand in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) more
