A strategic, coordinated, and comprehensive marketing andadmissions program was developed, with an overall strategy focused on three primary pillars: A)educating prospective students about the School’s world-class research and commitment todiversity and engagement, B) a holistic admission review process, and C) reducing student costsas a burden for both the student and the faculty (Figure 1). This multi-pronged approach yieldedsignificant increases in the size and diversity of the PhD student body, without

In this configuration, the instructor can directly interact with the students in the classroom, and students in the classroom can interact with their peers. • Multiple classrooms: This configuration, shown in Figure 1(b), enables the instructor to interact with multiple classrooms at the same time.

, open coding process was used to identify meaning units of data(statements or examples) that represented each code (Glaser, 1965; Saldaña, 2014). First,meaningful units related to mental health challenges in the STEM environment were identifiedfrom the transcribed interviews with participants. Second, open coding was used to organizethese meaningful units into themes along three dimensions: (a) difficulties in the STEMenvironment, (b) coping strategies, and (c) effect on students and STEM outcome. Theorganization of these themes formed the basis of the codebook for this study (See Table 2). To establish interrater reliability between three members of the research team,Krippendorf’s alpha (α) was calculated using the KALPHA SPSS macro
