During the discussion, Stassun will summarize three core strategies: (1) replacing the GRE in admissions with indicators that are more predictive of long-term success; (2) partnering with a minority-serving institution for student training through collaborative research; and (3) using the master\u2019s degree as a deliberate steppingstone to the PhD, with a wraparound mentoring model. Stassun will draw on his experiences as a nationally leading voice for diversity in STEM, including as a member of the National Science Foundation\u2019s Committee on Equal Opportunity in Science and Engineering, and as a member of multiple National Academies studies on Effective Mentoring in STEM and Promising Practices for Addressing Underrepresentation in STEM. The session will conclude with a mentoring model and toolkit which may be used to support the success of all PhD students.

This presentation draws on literature, program evaluation results, anecdotal data, and reflections to present 10 strategies to plan, implement, and evaluate department DEI Initiatives. These strategies include: 1) Internal buy-in is necessary but not sufficient, 2) Put it on the agenda, 3) Don\u2019t stop at diversity, 4) Adopt an anti-deficit orientation, 5) Prioritize internal and external-facing initiatives, 6) Learn from the literature, 7) Institutionalize sponsored projects, 8) Invest in external facilitation and training, 9) Show me that data, and 10) Don\u2019t let great get in the way of good. Each strategy will be presented with practical and accessible examples.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p><p>Dr. Ayesha Boyce is an Assistant Professor of Educational Research Methodology and Co-Director of the Office of Assessment\u00a0Evaluation and Research Services at UNC Greensboro.

Mentorship\/advising can have a positive effect on student success however, it is known to have reduced impact when mentorship competencies are lacking. In addition, among the faculty, peer mentoring has been shown to be an effective method for building relationships across disciplines and plays a notable role in the institutional culture. In this talk we will discuss avenues of mentorship in academia from student, faculty and community perspectives.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p><p>Dr. Kristen Rhinehardt is a native of High Point, NC and currently an Assistant Professor in Computational Data Science and Engineering at North Carolina A &amp;T State University.\u00a0 She received her BS degree from Cornell University in Biological Engineering and her MS and PhD from North Carolina A &amp; T State University, becoming the institution&#8217;s first person to receive a degree in Nanoengineering.\u00a0 Her scholarship includes numerous papers and presentations that encompass computational molecular modeling and engineering of complex biological systems as well as computing education.
