Requirement for GraduationIntroductionProfessional internships are not a new concept to college and university programs.However, to require this experience in the form of a demanding, well designed andimplemented internship is a very time consuming investment, which will yield excellentreturns for your students and for your program. Students, both traditional and non-traditional, are given an opportunity to demonstrate, advance, and refine technical andsupervisory competencies learned in the classroom and in the laboratories. Graduateswith this type of resume-worthy experience have a substantial advantage over peers withno internship experience. “Once, having an internship or two on your resume made you areal standout in the marketplace.

It provided proof-of-concept closed-cycle feasibility by yielding a net 15 kW. TheJapanese later installed closed-cycle plants at Nauru and Tokunoshima that yielded a net 10 kWand 32 kW, respectively.

To date, there is a dearth in research examining how systemic agents, such asSTEM graduate advisors, actively support graduate Women of Color’s mental health. Extensive research documents the harmful and toxic ways in which graduate advisorsnegatively affect Black and Latinx graduate students. However, there have been fewer attemptsto highlight how graduate advisors can positively support graduate students, especially Black andLatinx graduate women in STEM. Understanding the

professors “felt the students were able to demonstrate adeeper understanding for the subject areas than in earlier versions of these courses.”4 Thestudents, while agreeing that their learning was enhanced by the service aspect of their projects,were unsure about the net benefit of participating. Biology students were concerned thatperformance in traditional laboratory courses would be weighed more carefully thanparticipation in S-L courses by graduate schools and employers, and many students worried thatthe perception of a lack of scientific rigor would reflect poorly on them. A barrier to faculty’simplementation of S-L was a resistance to the idea of reflection as a learning or evaluation tool,in spite of its integral nature in the effective
