Altogether, the vast and lasting effect of faculty advising on their graduate students'overall educational experience and success suggests that it is an area where servingness might beboth cultivated and prioritized at HSIs.While the focus on measurable performance outcomes such as persistence and graduation ratesare both relevant and informative, other non-academic dimensions of the graduate studentexperience also deserve attention.

In thispaper we discuss certain social behaviors of some people in computing, both men and women, thatcontribute to the perception of a “computer geek” as a socially inept person. Recognizing andaccepting the truth behind negative aspects of the stereotype, as opposed to ignoring or denyingthem, will help us get to the root of the problem and find effective solutions for it.

Despite thebenefits of participating in research, not all students have the time or opportunity to experienceworking in a research lab during their undergraduate careers. In comparison, all students willparticipate in classes as part of their engineering majors, and thus it is important to alsounderstand how class experiences may impact student curiosity and learning.
