facultyreviewers did not have an impact.24Despite efforts by faculty and administration, the daunting national data is echoed at theuniversity under study in this paper where gender diversity has historically been a challenge witha 2:1 ratio of male to female students.9 Female enrollments ranged from 33-35% during theperiod from 2010-2013 with some STEM colleges within the university reporting approximately10% female students.25Breaking into a Career: Faculty Hiring PatternsSimilar to the student experience, female faculty may well begin their academic careers at adisadvantage as they continue to be faced with gender bias even if it is implicit rather thanexplicit.

Studentsare directed to a tumblr social media project in which volunteers have submitted digital “cards”detailing their own experiences with microaggressions [21]. As part of a self-reflection, studentsare asked to select any three cards with which they feel a connection, describe the reason behindtheir selection, and then indicate which previously-learned DEI techniques they would useif 1) they were the bystander observing the microaggression, and 2) if they were the recipient ofthe microaggression.
