school on a full-time basis. Dr. Roberts and Mr. Thomas do not look at EC as a community college where studentsrarely transition to four-year schools. Instead, they both see the school as a “transfer institution.”They use this phrase to underscore the notion that faculty and staff empower students with theexpectation that they will transfer. Furthermore, they believe that EC stands out from othercommunity colleges that may not articulate this objective as clearly. Dr. Roberts commentedthat he also directs Black and other students to consider transferring to schools like theMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology while enrolled inEC. In fact, for years, Dr. Roberts encouraged students to consider schools

In this study, researchers employ QSR to analyzefindings across 25 studies related to promising practices for reducing the impact of stereotypethreat in STEM fields for undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds. This paperthen presents a framework, derived from the findings of the QSR analysis, to describe a proposedtheory of change for reducing stereotype threat in academic settings.KEYWORDSdiversity, inclusion, qualitative systematic review, STEM education, stereotype threat, framework,undergraduate, underrepresented.BackgroundOccupations in the science, technology, engineering

While John and Arjun focused heavily on finding new technologies, Katie and I conducted other research that was still important, but not so focused on specific technologies. I also was assigned the role of email coordinator and conducting the interviews….I was not aware of how this stereotype was affecting our group nor did I think it was a problem. Some strategies that my team could use to make the team dynamic more effective is switching up the types of roles we do everyone now and then. That way
