implementtheory to practice and increase the likelihood of persistence. In particular, Vogelgesang, Ikeda,Gilmartin, and Keup (2002) report that students participating in service-learning projects in theirfirst-year of college, indicate higher levels of success than those that did not, including academicand personal development. The area of STEM and service-learning is an essential partnershipbecause of the opportunity for students to experience how they can make a difference togetherthrough improvement of lives and communities. In other words, the population of students inSTEM fields, lends itself to align with the primary purpose of service-learning at the institutionallevel. Research Purpose Enrollment of

achieving underserved students differ by gender? 2. How do their computing identities differ by field (CS, IT, CE)? 3. How do their computing identities differ by first year versus upper class status?2 BACKGROUNDNational attention to retaining U.S. prominence on the global stage has precipitated a necessity togarner interest, enrollment, and subsequent graduation of computing majors. The demand for atechnologically trained workforce far outpaces the growth. After all, computing is projected tocontinue to grow at a rate of 17% from 2014-2024, much faster than the average for alloccupations [2]. This urgency has prompted an expansion in literature on understanding theengagement of women, underrepresented minorities, and diverse socio
