a pattern of Christina's marginalization in team dynamics; in one case, sheexperiences gender bias from her professor, in other cases, she is confronted with gender bias byher peers. Christina synthesizes these experiences in complex ways; she claims she doesn't let theexperiences get to her although they linger in her mind, and yet she frames it as a story about herpeers and instructor being the problem, not her.6.2.3 Comparison of Alberto’s and Christina’s marginalizing experiencesBoth participants expressed discomfort with the environment on their engineering campus, whichexudes an unwelcoming atmosphere for their identities because of the prominence of hetero-patriarchal norms. Alberto fears being outed or experiencing generalized

college of engineering. Theobjectives of research in the college do not mirror the strategic goals of the university as a wholenor the college of engineering. It is true that most R1 PWIs value their research as means forfinancial gain and professional distinction. If research is highly revered at the graduate andinstitutional level, the strategic goals should also be implemented into the efforts made. Thisincludes engineering departments as well as centers and institutes that support departmentalresearch. Bearing this disconnect in mind, we classify Virginia Tech’s identity as communitymember-enhancing. We acknowledge that the university has developed an organizationalidentity that caters to and reflects the members of the local and state
, which supports students pursuing undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math- ematics (STEM). Before coming to SU, Tamara was at the University of Maryland, College Park where she was Assistant Director of the Center for Minorities in Science and Engineering. As Assistant Direc- tor of CMSE, Tamara was responsible for establishing retention programs for underrepresented minority STEM students including directing the NSF LSAMP and Bridge to the Doctorate Graduate Fellowship Programs. In 2012, Tamara and the rest of the members of CMSE were honored by the National Society of Black Engineers and ExxonMobil with the Impact Award for their successful efforts in the retention and graduation of
