University at Buffalo. As a former science educator, Monica is concerned with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teaching and learn- ing for historically and contemporarily marginalized students of color. Her research focuses on the role of identity, racialized experiences, and marginalization in K-12 and Higher education STEM spaces. Her work seems to challenge and problematize traditional notions of STEM teaching and learning and present solutions for marginalize groups to have accessDr. Ebony Omotola McGee, Vanderbilt University Ebony O.

course, or academic self-efficacy. Sample sizes varied from 28 to 2200 students. Ten of the studies hadcorrelational or quasi-experimental designs, and one had an experimental design withrandom assignment to a bridge program or a control group. Seven of the studiesshowed positive results for students who participated in a bridge program, two showedmixed results, one showed negative results, and one showed no effect. A subset of summer bridge programs focus on underrepresented studentsintending to major in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). The impetusfor those bridge programs is to address the problem of low numbers of raciallyunderrepresented individuals in STEM fields. The problem was described as “urgent” bythe Committee

The language also servesto continue erasure of past contributions and accomplishments by implying that certain groupshave not made an impact in engineering and technology [12]. These interpretations possiblyinduce a continuous feeling of stereotype-threat [13, 14]. Finally, we posit that saying"underrepresented" is a statement of supremacy by the dominant majority groups. It implies thatminority groups have not yet achieved sufficient prominence or stature in the discipline to berecognized: Their cultural norms are neither valued nor accepted [11, 14, 15]."Underrepresented" emphasizes oppressed members' lack of power in the system and is aconstant reminder of isolation or
