thechallenges that are present during graduate training are common among graduate students. Thesesimilarities are more evident among graduate students that share certain backgrounds, and inparticular among members of minority groups. While much research has been devoted to theexperiences of gender and ethnic minorities [1]–[3], the experiences of English as SecondLanguage (ESL) students in graduate school has been poorly explored. The challenges of ESLstudents often interplay with those of gender and ethnic minorities because their identities areintersectional with such characteristics. Therefore, being an ESL student represents a dimensionthat would be valuable to explore in the context of graduate education.Supporting the development of graduate

If it had been approved as a 1000-level course,most students would not have had free space in their degree plan to count the four-credit coursetowards graduation.

explanation for this is that, on average, faculty spend the most time with53 students, compared with staff, administrators, and advisors. For most courses offered in higher education,54 this time is at least three hours per week; for research mentoring, the faculty contact time can increase55 dramatically [12]. Classroom interactions between students and faculty have a significant potential to56 influence students’ graduation path [13]. Yet, concerning the instruction by faculty, engineering students57 reported that the quality of instruction in engineering was lower than in their non-engineering courses58 [14], [15].

Research has shown that one predictor of persistence in college is feeling asense of mattering and belonging [1], [37]. Commuter students are particularly at risk of notpersisting [1]. Mattering is defined as “the feeling one has when he/she feels that he/she isnoticed, cared about, needed, and valued by another person” [12] and the sense of belonging as“the perception of peer and faculty support, classroom comfort, and isolation [3], [11], [38]-[40].The challenge is how one goes about
