GROW: An Equity-Minded Framework to Support the Integration of Equity and Inclusion in Learning2020 brought awareness to many issues surrounding equity and inclusion across the nation. In collegesand universities around the country, open forums on systemic racism and gender bias allowed newvoices to shine through and strategic plans on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be reimagined. Acommon theme that has emerged from these discussions is the critical need to effectively integrateequity and inclusion into the teaching and learning environment. As equity-minded institutions, we havea responsibility to not only meet our students where they are at, but also our faculty. Thus, wedeveloped a framework that provides faculty with a self

institutions.Many of these challenges mirror issues of society-at-large but are sometimes overlooked byprofessionals who deal with these students. To facilitate a student’s personal journey toward enhanced development andtransformation, engineering professionals must keep in mind that many of the experiencesencountered by students create some cognitive dissonance and challenge thought patterns,behaviors, and self-identity. To respond more effectively to their needs, the professional focusmust support a student’s need for a sound identity and awareness of issues that might impacttheir academic performance. Some of their issues might include academic, economic,motivational, family background, societal, diversity, and values challenges. Although
