program with PennsylvaniaState University, that engages in collaborative research throughout the academic year, and during thesummer, NCCU students conduct summer research at Penn State. The Bridge program attended a PREMmeeting to present on available opportunities to participate, particularly in the professional developmentworkshops and research seminars. Additionally, we have initiated a STEM professional developmentseries for all STEM undergraduates. Thus far, one seminar on Preparing Powerful Presentations has beenheld. This initiative is to motivate current undergraduates to pursue Master’s degrees that could directlyfeed into the Bridge program. More seminars and an Open House are planned for the beginning of theFall 2019 semester.One

patterns across the data. The codes were iteratively adjusted in the course of the analysis and informedby analytic memos written during data collection and analysis. These “meta-codes” and patterns werereviewed to determine themes across the data. These themes are described below in the findings anddiscussion section. The data was approached from more than one perspective to assess trustworthiness and credibilityof the analysis. A single researcher coded the interview and was subsequently reviewed by three otherresearchers who read the interview transcriptions and discussed the initial identified codes and themes.Iterative discussions were undertaken until the four researchers came to a consensus agreement on a list offinal themes

more closely at recruitmentand especially retention trends among graduate students.Future Ideas for the future that come up regularly include initiating some sort of WIE award(s),actively partnering with other groups across campus (this is happening now to some extent), andpromoting diversity across campus in areas beyond gender. We are continually challenged by theamount of work it takes to provide high-quality events (work that the WIE committee memberscommit to on top of their coursework and research). At the same time, we find that it is gettingmore difficult to convince participants that we what offer is worth taking some time away fromwork. We strive to recruit a diversity of panelists, speakers, and presenters over the course of theyear
