In the formal stage, students are inducted into the program anddetermine how well they fit within that context [17]. In the informal stage, student begins tolearn what is expected in their desired position and shifts from “being student–like to moreprofessional” [6]. In the personal stage, students begin to develop their identity as graduatestudent, as they embrace their new roles and responsibilities [17]. There is no timeline for howfast students will go through the process of socialization, however, it is imperative that theprocess occurs for the student to be successful in their graduate program.

Sixteensuch strategies were identified via the iterative analysis of interviews with 19 tenured/tenure-track female STEM faculty at ECU, representative of all academic ranks and of multipledepartments across the College of Science & Mathematics and College of Engineering. Thestrategies responded to initiatives and policies in place at ECU to support female STEM faculty,were specifically mentioned by at least one participant, or attended to issues common

This may promote targeting variability; Participant 1.13 targeted in 6/7 interview tasks.Since Participant 1.4 trained as a Civil Engineer in Canada, she is accustomed to using theCanadian practice of computing the 5th percentile strength [23], Participant 1.4 (Q1.2): We don't want to overestimate strength, we want to have those safety factors.
