]. Librarians cannot ensure they will be involved in graduateclasses, so outreach activities and events are imperative for connecting with graduate students.Recognizing this gap, forward-thinking libraries and institutions are adopting a more nuancedapproach to graduate student outreach by designing programs that build upon students' existingresearch experiences, building on prior knowledge in conjunction with the more sophisticateddemands of graduate-level study [8]. This strategy not only acknowledges the diversebackgrounds of graduate students but also fosters a more inclusive and supportive learningenvironment. This approach enhances students' research skills and boosts their confidence intheir own academic prowess. By recognizing and building from

For example, research showsthat students who study abroad have higher GPAs, are more likely to graduate on time, and aremore attractive to employers that seek to hire candidates with intercultural competencies.16African American students account for 15% of the overall U.S. undergraduate population butonly represent 5.6% of the over 300,000 U.S. students studying abroad. There are several reasonsfor this disparity: finances, faculty leadership, attrition rates, choice of major, family support,anxiety resulting from travel inexperience, and lack of insight of the

In responding to this opportunity, the Engineering Technology Department at New JerseyInstitute of Technology developed an undergraduate telecommunication concentration within theElectrical Engineering Technology program. To keep abreast with the market space and thedemands of the industry, we developed an assessment plan used as an input to the programimprovement process.

They are many students’ first exposure to the everyday realities of doing research.The students of this REU cohort - and many other REU programs - do not come from institutionswith abundant research opportunities, so their experiences can powerfully illustrate the value ofundergraduate research for students’ skill development, understanding of research practices, andlearning about graduate school and other engineering career opportunities.
