Our intent is to explore student reflection and outcomes of service-learning throughqualitative methodology. We utilized narrative inquiry through large descriptive data sets(Denzin & Lincoln, 2018). Qualitative methods allowed us to review student narratives andunderstand reflective processes (Chase, 2018). The goal of this study was to examine studentexperiences and their reflection of material to better communicate outcomes and benefits ofenrolling in a service-learning course.A WiSE approach: Examining how service-learning impacts first-year women in STEM 7 We instituted purposeful random sampling (Light, Singer, & Willett, 1990) to recruitcollege women in STEM, enrolled in a service-learning leadership

The survey, at thetime of this study, did not consider non-binary gender populations and have since rectified thisegregious oversight in subsequent iterations. Given the status of the survey, there was a cleardifference between genders when it came to computing identity, specifically in recognition(males scored 3.4 overall while women scored 3.0). This showed that women who were highachieving in computing still showed signs of feeling less acknowledged as computing peoplethan male students. This means that, at home, at school, and in social circles, women do not feelas if they are being recognized as
