Over 93% of the participants reported beingsomewhat or very motivated to engage in specific bias-reducing activities in their organization. Futureanalyses will include tracking demographic data from student organization membership and leadershiplists, as well as climate survey results. I.

This contributes to the impact of student expectations on their perceived quality of interactionsand reflects the previously reported limited interactions with advisors [13].Theme 5.

Exploring Student Perceptions of Teamwork in a Summer Outreach ProgramAbstractIncreasing numbers of summer outreach programs aim to engage students in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). A common approach to these programs is project-basedlearning (PBL), which often involves working in teams. Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills. However, team experiences are not always positive, andsome team members may not feel welcome to contribute. Team experiences can negatively affectstudents’ sense

Disciplinary culture not only impacts curricula, but there have also been studiessuggesting that disciplinary cultures are associated with perceptions of engagement, educationalvalues and norms in science and engineering students [31]. Differences in disciplinary culturehave been found to account for why students in social sciences prize individual assertion,classroom participation, and interest in ideas; in contrast, science and engineering students aredescribed as placing more value on participation that fosters quantitative competencies throughindividual and collaborative efforts [31].Depending on an institution’s definition of STEM (e.g., broad enough to encompass socialsciences) and the organizational structure of
