andeducational activities focused on computational science and high-performance computing. Visitingfaculty and students are recruited from a variety of institutions including minority serving, women’s,liberal arts, community colleges and other educational institutions. Selected qualified faculty applicantsattend a matching workshop in which both, faculty and Laboratory researchers briefly present theirwork, learn about potential research collaborations, engage in one-on-one discussions, and developcollaborative research proposals. Faculty who are matched to Laboratory researchers engage in anintensive summer research experience at the Laboratory with a few of their students or in some casessend students to engage in a summer Laboratory research

43 percent of their credits when they transferredbetween institutions [9].ADVANCE is a solution not just for students but also for the entire community of employers,companies and organizations in our region. The Northern Virginia region is booming, and eventhough NOVA and Mason constitute one of the largest educational systems anywhere in any cityor region in the country, we are not producing enough talent to meet our economy’s demands.The recent announcement by Amazon to locate a new headquarters in Northern Virginia (HQ2)will only exacerbate this situation.Employers are key partners for us in the program, and employer engagement is crucial in helpingus design a program that leads students to meaningful careers. We are designing

Students learn about the learning theories, but also carry outactivities and participate in case studies to actively examine their own learning and biases.Because sense of belonging to a greater community is such a strong component of studentidentity (“I am an engineer”) and success, the course focuses not just on learning andassessment of learning, but also has a greater context of societal factors that impact a student’sability to learn and persist. Therefore topics such as gender bias [22] and stereotype threat [23]are important component of course content. Because these topics

Selection did not impact participation in the unconference event in any way.Letting Go (of Control): The Implications of Inaction Unconference facilitation. A hallmark of the unconference model is that it is community-drivenand decisions are made by participants, so facilitation of such a space can be tricky to those whounderstand leadership as control [4]. “Leadership in Open Space requires that one set the direction,define and honor the space, and let go” [4]. Following Owen’s recommendation, after introducing theevent and engaging the group in agenda setting, Masters (our unconference’s facilitator) left the eventspace to highlight participants’ responsibility for the space
