Due to rising concerns, a team of facultyand staff formed together in the summer of 2023 to identify the problem(s) and work towardplausible solutions that could improve overall culture in the department. This team dedicatedthemselves to the “Engineering a Culture Overall” (ECO) initiative, which is an effort focusedon improving the culture in the department by focusing on accessibility, diversity, equity, andinclusion (ADEI). In the Fall of 2023, undergraduate students joined the ECO team with theintention of amplifying the student voice to help enact change that would benefit the

Blair et al.’s study showed that STEM faculty members were notequipped to help disrupt current patterns of gender inequalities in STEM majors [17]. In relationto the Summer 2022 REU, we used interviews with women-identifying students to examinewhether faculty and graduate student mentor interactions contributed to or took away from asense of belonging in the Summer REU. Not only do negative student/faculty relationships playa role in determining the success of women STEM majors, but also women STEM major’spositive or negative interactions with their men-identifying peers.

We situated our studyin the Professional Pathways Model (PPM), which uses Sampson et al.’s Cognitive InformationProcessing Theory [24] as a lens for Eccles et al.’s Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT) of studentachievement motivation [25]. EVT has now become Situated Expectancy Value Theory (SEVT)which keeps the core concepts of EVT but recognizes situations within context [26]. However,PPM preceded SEVT so we retain EVT terminology. The PPM provides a comprehensive viewof the knowledge, values, and ability beliefs that students bring to bear in making

However, documentation of the shift in familial demographics has notalways been adapted to quantitative instruments seeking to understand more about collegestudents’ parents/guardians. Items seeking information about parent(s)/guardian(s) are used tounderstand students’ family life, to understand their access to education in the form of socialcapital32, and as a proxy for SES. Such items often assume a traditional familial structure: Onefather or male
