These areprimarily Input-Environment-Output models in which students arrive with a set of backgroundcharacteristics (e.g., race, gender, career preferences, values, socio-economic status, priorexperiences) and then enter and interact with peers and faculty and staff within the institutionalenvironment. Terenzini and Reason created the Comprehensive Model of Influences on StudentLearning and Persistence, which synthesizes the models of Astin, Tinto, and Pascarella [7].Terenzini and Reason’s model includes four major constructs: precollege characteristics andexperiences

Cohort activities allowed teachers to learn about the career pathways taken by graduatestudent assistants and faculty mentors, which often linked past experiences to current researchinterests. It also provided the teachers, who were all CaucasianWhite, with different perspectivesand trajectories that their students may follow in the future. Teachers noted that they planned toinvite the graduate students and faculty mentors into their classrooms for guest lectures to allowtheir students the chance to interact with individuals from a variety of diverse backgrounds.At the start of the summer program, the RET team did not allow time for informal interactions inthe cohort activities.
