Education, 2021 Training University Staff and Faculty in Motivational Interviewing: Advancing Diversity, Equity and InclusionAbstractMany minority and under-represented minority University engineering students are experiencinga chilly climate, which is partially a result of experiencing higher levels of micro-aggressions,harassment, discrimination and unkind acts. It can be challenging to address these issueseffectively through formal University discipline procedures. This paper discusses an informalapproach to addressing such acts as an early intervention and education approach. Specifically, 17University staff and faculty in engineering were trained to use Motivational Interviewing forchange conversations around

Some of these programs focus on increasing undergraduate internships [3] or onunderstanding career options [4], while others aim to increase student success in first-yearprograms [5] and improve student retention [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. All these categories have variouslevels of mentorship tailored to meet the primary needs of the respective program. For example,an industry mentor might provide career guidance while a faculty mentor could advise ondegrees paths and options for graduate work.

There is also evidence to show that they contribute to greater careerengagement later in life [2] and that having an internship is one of the top qualifications thatemployers look for in new graduates [3].

These studies have explored sense ofbelonging both as an antecedent to important socio-academic outcomes, as well as an outcome ofstudents’ socio-academic experiences within the college community [5-7].Existing research often examines college students’ sense of belonging as a global construct,positioning students to respond about their sense of belonging to institutions, disciplines, ordepartments [8-9]. However, recent research suggests that students’ development of sense ofbelonging may differ across contexts in the university community [7, 10].
