Ernesto described finding friends as a source of support based on his experience in the S-STEM program–this sense of community flourished in his third year as a student at theuniversity. He considers his own introverted nature and his self-consciousness about his Englishas possible factors that impacted his sociability in the department early in his schooling. Ernestoviews the department as one that can, at

telephone interviews supplemented the data collected from Q-sort data and focusgroups that occurred following Q-sort completion. Individual interviews are requested annuallyfrom each S-STEM scholar to discuss program activities, support, and student progress in theiracademic and career pathway. Multiple requests are made annually, with support from programcoordinators and faculty to contribute to the research project. A total of 18 programmaticinterviews were available for the 16 key participants for whom we had Q-sort data in the correctformat for analysis. An additional question regarding diversity was added to the protocol for the2022 data collection: The NSF, which funds this scholarship program values diversity incomputing. Have you noticed
