Attending to students' sense of belonging is critical totheir development and is associated with student persistence and engagement in learning. Thus,enhancing the peer mentors fostering of student belonging is fundamental to student success. Infuture research, we plan to explore in more detail how to enhance the peer mentors' awareness oftheir influence on student belonging and what they can do to enhance belonging.Working in Teams.

theperpetuating a culture of exclusion that is rooted in the “traditional” teaching method.As the engineering profession diversifies, the teaching styles need to diversify along with it.Lewis states that the engineering profession is especially biased towards men. Men teach as ifthey are the holder of information, and are transmitting it to students, whereas women thinkstudents should define their own learning experiences. This includes but is not limited toquestions, evaluations of success and teaching styles [10]. Women are also more likely to investtime into planning their courses and designing active learning opportunities which allow studentsto participate and engage in the course material and prioritize higher order thinking skills [11].This is

When students are provided with the skills and tools they need,they thrive in engineering programs and transfer at higher rates. I did not find many paperswhich focused specifically on working or caretaking students, but several papers consideredthese groups. Planning for the success of these students involves some special considerations,which I discuss below. For many engineering transfer students, forming a strong community at school can bechallenging due to external commitments. Formal mentorship programs can help these studentsform a strong engineering identity while

The day before thewalkout, Bezos announced plans—the company’s “Climate Pledge,” to convert to renewableenergy by 2030 and to be carbon neutral by 2024. The activists applauded this gesture, butclaimed that it was not enough, and that the company needed a more urgent and intensiveresponse. Additionally, the Climate Pledge was perhaps intended to assuage customers that thecompany is in fact making changes (Peltz, J, 2019).This protest apparently (according to employees) led to Amazon enforcing a strictercommunications policy for its
