program ends, the bridge students disperse to attend different regionalcampuses for the fall semester. A second important difference between the two bridgeprograms is that there is no ongoing academic-year support for the ASE students. The Toys’n MORE project. Two NSF-funded projects have allowed us to exploreother variations of summer bridge programs for Penn State STEM students. The goal ofthe Toys’n MORE project (NSF STEP #0756992, 2008 to 2014) was to increaseretention by 10% at graduation among students pursuing baccalaureate STEM degrees,particularly Engineering, who started their Penn State education at a regional campus.The innovation of the Campus College Connection intervention, as part of theToys’n MORE project, was that academic

As an engineer going into conversations like this, students from other majors seem to know a lot more More white male professors need to step up to these kinds of conversations. As a student of color, I’m not aware of other groups, such as LGBT, for example. As a queer student, I’m unable to find STEM faculty to identify with. As a student of color, I want faculty of color that I can relate to. How is the university doing relative to its strategic action plan for diversity? How is the college doing? Some faculty just don’t seem nice/interested in us. What can we do, especially for students who are not culturally accustomed to standing up for

The curriculum for training RIC,included several retention initiatives. Onboarding is important in making newly hired faculty membersfeel welcome and at home, and integrated into the community. New faculty have varying degrees ofexperience with local multicultural issues (Wunsch and Chattergy, 1991). This is why New FacultyOrientation (NFO) has gained grounds at VCU. At the beginning of the school year, the different unitsin the division of faculty affairs meet with new faculty to familiarize them with local campus policies,regulations, processes and procedures of the university.

AsianAmericans), as well as persons with disabilities [1, 2]. We submit that it is time to reflect on thelanguage we use to discuss inequity in engineering education. Based on our research, that ofothers, and numerous conversations of the years, we propose a perspective and language shift forconsideration and discussion.Critiquing the status quo "Words are but pictures of our thoughts" - John Dryden [3]Consideration begins by examining the use of the label "underrepresented minority" as a tool ofoppression. For the past 100 years, engineering has been a domain of white, upper-class, able-bodied men [1, 4]. Students who do not identify within those historic norms of engineering areoften referred to collectively in educational policy and
