Altogether, the vast and lasting effect of faculty advising on their graduate students'overall educational experience and success suggests that it is an area where servingness might beboth cultivated and prioritized at HSIs.While the focus on measurable performance outcomes such as persistence and graduation ratesare both relevant and informative, other non-academic dimensions of the graduate studentexperience also deserve attention. Master’s and Doctoral students’ non-academic outcomes, suchas their sense of belonging in their institution or discipline, have also been shown to beresponsive

Traditional SBPs primarilyfocus on pre-college preparation, exposing students to the academic rigor of college-level mathand science while improving their preparedness [8, 9]. In contrast, the CURE project’s SBPspecifically targets Statics and Mechanics of Materials—two foundational courses in engineeringeducation that heavily influence retention and long-term success [10].These

This is a fairlystandard model that is used at many different institutions and is one that allows for one on onepersonal interactions with the student and minimizes the workload on the faculty advisor.However, in order to address the issues of mechanical engineering student retention, recruitment,and the initial math placement of these students the new active and structured advising modelwas created as seen in Fig. 1.

The Facilitated Peer MentorCircles program was an adaptation from other universities (Gilfoyle et al., 2011; Thomas et al.,2015; Li et al., 2023). A novel adaptation was the hiring of a Faculty Development Coordinator(FDC) to facilitate all circles to: (1) Top-down support and commitment for continuity; (2)Creating psychological safety through respect for everyone and confidentiality; (3)Responsiveness to individual career needs/paths; (4) Seeking input to tailor offerings for success;and (5) Collecting feedback/offering aggregated, bottoms-up input to
