This is notunusual for busy graduate students, however programs exist to assist graduate students withbecoming better academic writers so a decision was made to include such as effort. To that end,a graduate student writing consultant, one that has been trained in supporting graduate studentsin the writing process, has been brought in to conduct weekly writing sessions with cohort 2where various topics are discussed and writing is peer reviewed. Students are required to engagein both the learning community and writing community in the future. We will continue tooptimize the interdisciplinary graduate education program as we

These roadblocks include inadequate classroom environment,inadequate teacher preparation, inadequate educational tools, as well as any family economic andsocial barriers. Most of these students rarely break through these roadblocks successfully.Consequently, they do not reach their potential to achieve academically. This academic crisis forthe underrepresented student is no more apparent than in the

The majority ofstudents did not have the ability to write math symbols easily. One GTA noted that students werediscouraged by the inability to write freely and that their enthusiasm for group work was lost.Students’ struggles with online communication were perceived to have had a significant impacton group work.

exclusionary learning environments and curricula, lack of facultymentorship and role models, and lack of a supportive peer group (see [4]-[6] research findings onthese topics). For these reasons, there is a steep decline in the number of Black and Hispanicstudents graduating with a STEM degree from Baccalaureate institutions [7]. Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular. Specifically, when Black andHispanic students feel like they have learning and supportive spaces to develop their STEMidentities, they are more likely than their peers who do not have access to such spaces toacademic persist in the STEM field [8].
