students, including students in rural areas and those who learn differently, in STEM education from pre-K through graduate studies. Her current work focuses on supporting and evaluating the construction of collaborative communities and building evaluation capacity within organizations and large-scale programs. In all efforts Adrienne works to (a) truly understand the purpose and needs for the evaluation or research undertaking, (b) develop feedback cycles that support continuous program improvement, (c) make implementation and impact data available and interpretable for program implementers, and (d) select the most rigorous, yet feasible analytic designs that are tailored to the unique needs of each program context. She

more or less successful for this purpose) will be identified.Specifically, this work will address the following research question:RQ1. In what ways might participation in immersive virtual reality experiences promoteempathy, impact shifts towards more inclusive mindsets and result in corresponding behaviorsthat cultivate inclusive environments? A. How might exposure to complex and delicate scenarios enable engineering faculty perceptions to shift towards being more inclusive? B. How might exposure to complex and delicate scenarios raise an awareness that fosters empathy for engineering faculty? C. How might perception of the physical world change when virtual embodiment pushes the boundaries by what is felt and seen in the
