], BroadeningParticipation in Engineering [8], the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) MinorityUniversity Research and Education Program [9], and others. The NRT solicitation advancesinterdisciplinary research in data sciences and encourages projects that address underrepresentation inSTEM. The NCSU-NCCU collaborative project utilizes NRT funding to expand on existing researchcollaborations and leverages resources to develop a formal inter-institutional pilot program thatcontributes to diversifying the STEM community. 1The NCCU-NCSU Bridge-to-Ph.D. Program is inspired by the well-established, Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-Ph.D. program, which aims

out.At the workshop, I was partnered with this Asian guy. They asked us to tell ourpartner, "What are you most aware of everyday?" And I said, "What I'm most awareof everyday is that I'm Black, I'm a woman, and I'm short."How does your gender impact your experience in your doctoral program?It impacts it a lot. As an example: I was in a group project last semester, and Imade some suggestions. Everybody ignored my comment. Some guy said thesame thing 10 minutes later, and they're were like, "That's a great idea." And Ithought, "I'm just going to shut up from now on and just.” I reverted back into thatminimization because it's like I literally said that's what we should do, and nobodypaid me any attention.What does it mean to be a Black woman in

appropriate.Beth, also cited discomfort while observing sexist encounters in her lab: In lab settings he'll probably give cool projects and big responsibility to the men in his lab, and then he'll have all of his technicians be women, and there's another situation here that makes me feel really uncomfortable where there's a professor that only accepts generally attractive, young women in his lab, and he treats them sexist. Samantha, described several racially-charged encounters with a technician in her lab thatwas really infuriating: He would say little things, you know? Like little things...one day he came in and he said, "Samantha, I uh.." we were talking about an instrument, and he said, "I saw this thing on

Many times, students in the same or similar programs become friends and co-workersas they navigate their plan of study. As these groups of students, or cohorts, form, a communityof students begins to be created. These communities are governed by a set of norms that createculture, and when students are outside of this culture, their fit in the program becomes threatened(Lovitts, 2001

University Dr. Nadia Kellam is Associate Professor in the Polytechnic Engineering Program at Arizona State Uni- versity. Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching
