abstract = {Faculty interaction is an essential component in the undergraduate experience that can impact student outcomes and promote matriculation into STEM graduate programs and into STEM research careers. We explore data from a national sample of 2,311 undergraduate students who started and persisted in STEM majors to understand how they access these critical relationships with faculty during college. This study draws from frameworks of mentorship (Johnson & Ridley, 2004; Mullen, 2005; Nora & Crisp, 2007; Ragins, 1999) and academic socialization processes (Becher, 1989; Stanton-Salazar, 2010) to examine the structures of opportunity within institutions and the characteristics and behaviors of students that facilitate or

discourage STEM students’ development of supportive mentoring relationships with faculty. Findings suggest that the extent of undergraduates’ success in developing faculty support networks is influenced by differentiation in pre-college characteristics and behaviors; however, pre-college variables, such as SAT scores, matter more in determining the types of experiences students have in college that eventually connect them with faculty mentors. Predictors of being mentored by faculty in college include measures of college experiences, such as presenting research, joining academic clubs, meeting with counselors about career plans, measures of institutional climate, including feelings of isolation and perceptions of faculty, and structural characteristics of institutions, such as institutional control and selectivity. Our findings have

implications for elucidating the role of faculty and students in developing meaningful relationships that can promote college and post-college outcomes for STEM students.},

abstract = {Introductory courses in the sciences have been criticized for their lack of engaging pedagogy and their encouragement of passive learning techniques. Critics have cited these features as primary reasons why students decide to leave the sciences shortly after enrolling in college, as students report feeling un-engaged in learning and confused about course content. Using a sequential, explanatory mixed methods approach, this study provides an in-depth look at the relationship between student learning strategies, faculty pedagogical techniques, and student engagement in introductory science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. Quantitative survey data are drawn from 2,873 students within 73 introductory STEM courses across 15 colleges and universities while qualitative data were collected from 41 student focus groups at eight institutions. Findings indicate that freshmen and pre-med students report higher levels of engagement. Additionally, students who feel comfortable asking questions in class, seek out tutoring, attend supplemental instruction sessions, and collaborate with other students in the course are also more likely to be engaged. At the course-level, student engagement is increased when faculty signal an openness to student questions and recognize their role in helping students to succeed. Findings from this study point to ways that instructors of introductory STEM courses can adjust their pedagogical techniques and improve their classroom climates to encourage greater levels of engagement from students. },

abstract = {While racial identity salience in college is important to identity development, cognition, and achievement, more research is needed to understand it in contemporary and diverse college contexts. Using a combination of identity development models as its framework and the Diverse Learning Environment (DLE) survey piloted at 14 two-year and four-year institutions, this study identifies the pre-college and institutional factors that contribute to a heightened salience of racial and ethnic identity, and the relationship of this salience to students’ pre-college socialization, general college experiences, and experiences with the campus climate for diversity. After controlling for pre-college socialization and racial differences, results show that race identity was more salient among students that experience discrimination/bias, but also among students who had in-depth conversations outside of class on issues of racial/ethnic diversity, took courses as part of an inclusive curriculum, and participated in co-curricular diversity initiatives. },
