Influencers also creates the community component for students, and is veryvital for the student’s success in identifying, developing, and maintaining their own STEMidentity. This is strongly seen from our student Carly that said: “Just being part of an engineering program makes you feel a little bit more like an engineer, I think. Everything I do that is in this field but is not school related makes this more sense as a community… Being in ESCEL is a thing, because you’re gonna meet people that are also going through the same things you are, that

In the career ofnursing, it is often overlooked that the nature of such a career can be technically and emotionallychallenging. While human relations are a large part of the work, the technical aspects arefrequently overlooked. It is particularly interesting to note that 75% of the teachers inelementary and secondary schools are women [1]. Of course, the women teachers are typicallyonly teaching non-technical subjects. From this history of rhetoric, is it any surprise that wecontinue to have such a small number of women entering the world of engineering? There hasbeen a major effort in the

However, adapting to the new educational environment often meansthat they have to establish new mentoring relationships, develop a new social peer network, andsearch for internships or co-op opportunities.
