graduation to70% within our Chemical and Environmental Engineering Department.We have achieved this dramatic increase in retention by iterating through several years of interventiondevelopment and deployment. Crucially, our interventions combine elements designed to affect studentsacross a range of affective learning categories—an approach not yet found in the literature. However,while we have anecdotal information from students regarding their responses to many of theinterventions, we have not yet scientifically studied which interventions are important to which studentpopulations. This paper will thus describe successful practices that we have implemented, highlightingthose that are thought to have the largest effect on women based on a

After 30 years at Georgia Tech in a variety of roles, Donna became the Executive Director of the new Institute for STEM and Diversity Initiatives at Boise State University in January 2015. Donna’s current interests center around education issues in general, and in particular on increasing access and success of those traditionally under-represented and/or under-served in STEM higher education.Ms. Ann Delaney, Boise State University Ann Delaney graduated in 2016 with her Masters in Materials Science & Engineering with an interdisci- plinary

widely documented to have a positive impact on retention and studentexperience [2]–[5].Although the importance of such programs is clearly recognized, an understanding of how andwhy such programs have an impact is less well-developed. In a review of programmatic studentsupport initiatives, Lee and Matusovich [6] presented a comprehensive analysis of diversitysupport practices, and then called for more interplay between research and practice on diversitysupport. Narrowly framed, a relationship between an empirical base and implementationstrategies might be summarized as determining “evidence-based best practices.” However, Leeand Matusovich noted that “while the practice of providing students with co-curricular supporthas been evaluated, theory

Therecommended strategies include engagement of the institutional leadership, summer bridge programs,collaborative learning and living environments, facilitated study groups, early alert systems,scholarships, positive self-efficacy development, positive identity development, and facultydevelopment programs. The paper provides research-based explanation of why each of these strategiesworks as well as best practices and challenges for their implementation.In [14], the authors perform a study of retention of students in STEM fields. They found that 48% ofstudents at bachelor’s degree level and 69% at the

The model is named for the verticalintegration of sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and faculty within VIP teams. InVIP, faculty lead student teams on projects that contribute to their research, and teams last formany years, if not indefinitely. Students earn academic credit and can participate for multiplequarters/semesters and years. Projects last longer than any individual
