involvement with individuals and groups outside normalclassroom and laboratory activities. The five Latina participants named their families andcampus organizations focused on women in engineering as important sources of support as theypursued their education. Further, this study found that Latinas in engineering encounter tensionbetween their engineering identities and other identities such as their gender and racial/ethnicidentities. By understanding the process of professional identity development and its interactionswith other personal identities, researchers, practitioners, and administrators may develop supportmechanisms that provide a holistic approach to supporting the present and future success ofLatina engineering students.LATINAS

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.
