, 2023Work-In-Progress: Multiple Mentor Model for Cross-InstitutionalCollaboration and Undergraduate ResearchAbstractIn this paper we describe our work in progress (WIP) partnership between three academic institutions toenhance multiple-mentor models for undergraduate research students. Our collaboration includes a uniqueplanning effort to thoughtfully increase the number of women/BIPOC students in our programs, andsupport them in pathways to graduate education. We have designed a scaffolded undergraduate researchexperience for students that includes traditional summer research experiences, course based researchexperiences, and a multi-mentor model for graduate pathways. Our preliminary results indicate that thescaffolded research experience can

TheEmerging Scholars Program involved students solving challenging calculus 1 problems inworkshops in which trained graduate students facilitated the problem-solving process usingSocratic questioning and offering help when necessary. Subsequent research by Treismanindicated that offering freshmen a non-threatening, small-group but challenging environment toexplore math concepts impacts participants' success in these subjects and motivates them topersist [10], [11], [12].Funded by the National Science Foundation, the PLTL model was first developed for GeneralChemistry at the City College of New York in the early 1990’s and later extended to math,biology and engineering courses.

She currently directs several undergraduate research programs which provide collegiate black women with the training and expertise needed to acquire jobs in the field of data science. Her passion resides in mentoring and sustaining minority students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), by studying and evaluating the best practices for people of color who are interested in pursuing careers in research and medicine.

Even if the previous director desires to impart all that they know, it is possible that thereis knowledge or meta-knowledge that they, themselves, are unaware they possess.Another challenge is the lack of widespread understanding of the state of the art in diversity,equity, inclusion, and belonging from a practitioner standpoint. The community exists in a stateof functional dichotomy between those designated as researchers and practitioners. In addition,there are many members of the academic community who are not aware of either the currentstate of practice OR

students of color. Theyalso tend to have fewer resources than non-MSIs, but a more excellent representation of studentsof color who earn STEM degrees [37]. For STEM WOC faculty, this may translate intoincreased teaching and service loads in addition to demands to research productivity. Despitethese circumstances, WOC STEM faculty report an interest in serving in these institutionsbecause of their culturally affirming environments and the potential to impact students fromsimilar backgrounds (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, lower income) [11], [4], [38]. Further, ourstudy considered these dynamics when investigating institutional structures that support WOCSTEM faculty at MSIs.MethodsThe current study is part of a more extensive national study

engineeringhas increased from 18% to 21% [2], [3]. This 3% growth over a nearly two-decade period isindicative of larger social issues among institutions regarding women and other marginalizedstudents [4]. This observed lack of women and racial minority representation in STEM degreeattainment ultimately impacts representation in professional fields, which could lead to increasedgender and racial labor market inequality [4]. Minority retention research in engineeringeducation spaces is conducted to increase STEM graduation rates, which could be used as a toolin socioeconomic mobility for minority members [5].

that the skills in both fields overlap. A good artist and a goodengineer need to have confidence in their abilities in creative problem solving. Structuring thecamp with a theme of art allows students more opportunities to feel like they belong in the field. The sculpture area at WSU provided hands-on practices in three-dimensional art includingsculpture and jewelry/small metals as part of our contribution to the camp. Most often theworkshops applied the welding skills students learned from the engineering lessons to createexperimental sculptural forms in metal with an emphasis on being playful, creative and havingfun.
