Bowman\u2019s strengths-based adaptation model takes underrepresented students\u2019 challenges into consideration alongside the strengths these students can use to facilitate success (Bowman &amp; St John, 2011).\u00a0 In my project,\u00a0 science identity and self-efficacy are viewed as individual level strengths.\u00a0 My project is an attempt to understand what type of relationship there is between science identity, self-efficacy, and confidence in students completing their long and sort term academic and professional goals. Using baseline data from one cohort of MI-LSAMP students, I address the following questions: 1.) Are community college students and university students different or similar when their levels of self-efficacy, science identity, and confidence for obtaining their goals are compared? 2.) How are science identity and self-efficacy related to the goal confidence for the community college\u00a0 and four-year student samples?\u00a0 Overall, community college and university students did not differ in their levels of confidence in attaining their short-term and long-term goals. However, t-tests revealed that community college students reported higher levels of both science identity and self-efficacy in comparison to university students.\u00a0 Overall, science identity was unrelated to community college students\u2019 confidence in attaining their short-term and long-term goals.\u00a0 However, the correlational analyses showed that efficacious students tended to be more confident in attaining their goals.\u00a0 The pattern of results was different for university students. Overall, for this group of students, science identity and self-efficacy are positively related to students\u2019 confidence in attaining their short and longer-term goals.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-069be3f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"069be3f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dd006be\" data-id=\"dd006be\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23b35fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"23b35fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Summer 2021<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a5664e5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a5664e5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b255c1\" data-id=\"4b255c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e753ffd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e753ffd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_1387\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1387\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1387 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/pass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-11-at-4.00.44-PM-768x848-1-e1745584076947-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Lindsay Marlin\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-11-at-4.00.44-PM-768x848-1-e1745584076947-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-11-at-4.00.44-PM-768x848-1-e1745584076947-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-11-at-4.00.44-PM-768x848-1-e1745584076947.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lindsay Marlin<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>During the summer of 2021,\u00a0<strong>Lindsey Marlin<\/strong>\u00a0was a Community College Summer Research Fellow and conducted research with the Diversity Research and Policy Program (DRPP).

For this group of nontraditional students, resources such as on-campus childcare, lactation spaces, and family housing are pertinent to balancing the demands of parenthood and school. However, recent studies (e.g., Kensinger &amp; Minnick, 2018) have alluded to student parent invisibility in institutional policy and practice. In this study I examined inclusion of student parents in official university statements (i.e., policy), and access to information about, and availability of, student parent resources (i.e., practice). The study addresses three research questions: 1. Do public four-year universities &amp; colleges include student parents in their non-discrimination &amp;\/or diversity statements? 2. For students who are parents, how easy is it for prospective and new university students to identify relevant resources? 3. Is the number of relevant resources related to inclusion of student parents in non-discrimination &amp;\/or diversity statements? 15 Michigan public four-year universities were selected for website analysis to explore official policy along with resources allocated and accessible to student parents. I developed a measure of \u201cease of identification\u201d by taking the ratio of identified student parent resources to the total number of resources appearing on the first page of the search results. From there, these percentages were converted to a five-point scale ranging from \u201cvery hard to find\u201d \u2013 \u201cvery easy to find\u201d. Six of the 15 universities (40%) included student parents in their official statements. Additionally, universities inclusive to student parents scored a 14.43% \u2013 15.6% in accessibility, representing the \u201cvery hard to identify resources\u201d category. However, universities that did not include student parents in their non-discrimination &amp;\/or diversity statements scored a 23.33% \u2013 31.78% in accessibility, representing the \u201cfairly hard\u201d to find category. To explore the relationship between inclusion in policy and inclusion in practice, I measured the average number of resources allocated to student parents at each institution. Although colleges that mentioned student parents in their statements had fewer resources (M=4.76) than those that did not mention student parents, (M=5.78), a t-test revealed that the college types were not statistically different. To further explore possible relationships between the type of institution and the number of resources available, I categorized each of the 15\u00a0institutions into two categories (very high research vs less than very high research) using the Carnegie classification system. A t-test revealed that very high research institutions appear to have more resources (M=8.33) than institutions that are less research-intensive (M=4.58). These findings allude to an interesting conclusion. While the majority (60%) of universities did not include student parents in their non-discrimination &amp;\/or diversity statements, this seemingly had no bearing on the number of resources allocated, and their accessibility, to student parents. Yet, the inaccessibility of student parent resources, along with their exclusion in policy, was a prevailing problem. Future research should be done exploring the relationship between policy, practice, and a university\u2019s research classification.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffbcd7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ffbcd7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_852\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-852\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-852 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/pass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of J'anna Rivers\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-802x1024.jpg 802w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-768x980.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-1204x1536.jpg 1204w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116-1605x2048.jpg 1605w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/07\/IMG_8544-scaled-e1745584144116.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">J&#8217;anna Rivers<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>J\u2019anna Rivers<\/strong>\u00a0is a student intern through the University of Michigan Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program for Summer 2021.

STEAM is the abbreviation for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The integration of \u201cArts\u201d within STEM has shown a significant increase in the motivation of children\u2019s ability to be creative, problem solvers, and critical thinkers. Throughout the process of this literature review my goal was to answer the research question \u201cHow do STEAM, in contrast to STEM, approaches develop creativity, critical thinking, and agency among children?\u201d To answer this question I reviewed 40 sources of qualitative and quantitative literature and of those, more than half provided strong support to the view that STEAM is very effective in developing 21st century skills such as creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. According to Hadinugrahaningsiha, \u201cthe term 21st-century skills is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in globalisation world\u201d (Hadinugrahaningsiha, 2017, p.1). STEAM effectiveness is measured by the behaviors of students after the curriculum is implemented. Studies indicate that even children at an early age demonstrated interest and academic growth (Awang, 2020). Considering this pedagogy is fairly new, there remains much ambiguity on the teaching styles, definition of \u201cart\u201d, and how the arts in STEAM will be implemented in lesson plans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad224e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad224e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Summer 2020\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-300fda5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"300fda5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Makayla Cager<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Too Much to Deal With: A Literature Review on Black Women Faculty Coping Methods to Alleviate Stress<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Existing research shows that women faculty experience different challenges in their career than their male colleagues. Based on societal gender roles, women are more likely to work while tending to their families. Balancing these dual roles have benefits and challenges. Moreover, women of color, particularly Black women, encounter bias due to their race and gender. In addition, balancing multiple roles and experiencing racial and gender bias daily can be stressful and they must find ways to cope. The purpose of this literature review is to discuss coping methods that Black women faculty use to deal with different stressors. The literature review addresses the following questions: a) do multiple roles lead to stress? b) what are the other stressors that Black women faculty encounter in their lives? c) what coping strategies do Black women faculty use to alleviate stress? And d) what are the health consequences of dealing with different stressors? After reviewing the literature, it is concluded that the role of emotion-focused coping, specifically spiritual coping, is prominent in many Black women faculty. The experiences of Black women faculty of encountering bias throughout their lives, especially in the workplace, suggest that there should be support services for faculty to help reduce the gender and racial biases in these institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e04b7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e04b7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Cristian Garcia<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>A Review of the Current Literature Regarding Best Practices for Academic Coaches<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While there has been an increase in coaching literature since the 1990s, the study of academic coaching is believed by many to be in its early stages. Understanding the processes within academic coaching is necessary to properly serve students of different backgrounds and abilities. Therefore a review of the literature was undertaken to examine the most frequently mentioned attributes associated with academic coaches\u2019 effectiveness. Articles in the existing literature on academic coaching were collected to examine the relationship between these coaching attributes and student outcomes. The review process spanned across four databases where multiple search terms were used to create an initial screen of the results. Information on coaches\u2019 attributes was extracted from the 28 articles that fit the inclusion criteria. Four pieces of information were considered for each attribute: the effect of the attribute on an academic coaching outcome, typically student outcomes, the direction of this effect, the frequency with which the attributes were mentioned across the reviewed articles, and lastly the importance the authors placed on the attribute. The most widely recognized attributes[1]\u00a0 identified by the coachee, the coach, or a neutral third party fell into three main categories: core coach competency, communication, and coaching relationship. This review suggests that students across many identities and abilities benefit from academic coaching and this may be largely influenced by particular coaching attributes. I conclude with suggestions regarding future studies to increase our understanding of how these categories of attributes facilitate the academic process.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f258677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f258677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Summer 2019\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b308486 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b308486\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_1704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1704\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1704 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/pass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Agatha Figueiredo\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888-803x1024.jpg 803w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888-768x979.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888-1205x1536.jpg 1205w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/09\/headshot-three-e1745584460888.jpg 1485w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Agatha Figueiredo<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My name is <strong>Agatha Figueiredo<\/strong>, and I am a research assistant in the DRPP.

Although it is important to understand how all college-going\u00a0 students perceive the value of postsecondary education, it is not clear how the perceptions of\u00a0 international undergraduates might differ from domestic students. This review includes peer reviewed articles obtained through searches of three academic databases (Proquest ERIC, Web\u00a0 of Science, and PsychInfo). The articles included in the review indicate that the value of higher\u00a0 education, as perceived by international undergraduate students, can be separated into distinct\u00a0 categories. The first category, professional outcomes, is the most frequently cited motivator of\u00a0 international students to pursue higher education in the United States. Professional outcomes\u00a0 include results such as getting a quality education and learning the necessary skills to enter the\u00a0 workforce. The other category, personal outcomes, includes non-academic results such as\u00a0 connecting with peers, embracing new cultures, and sharing their own cultures. While\u00a0 international students experienced greater personal success than expected since they were able to\u00a0 connect with other students in similar situations, their success with professional outcomes were\u00a0 not as high as expected. This suggests that colleges and universities should become more aware\u00a0 of the struggles that international students face and provide more resources to address their\u00a0 needs. Future studies might focus on the contextual factors that hinder international\u00a0 undergraduate students\u2019 professional outcomes, as well as the disconnect between international\u00a0 students and their domestic peers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf890af elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cf890af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Summer 2018\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-27ddf68 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"27ddf68\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a3bf621\" data-id=\"a3bf621\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3da1037 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3da1037\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_1502\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1502\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1502 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/pass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Simone-Essix-1.50.38-PM-e1745584643700-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Simone Essix\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Simone-Essix-1.50.38-PM-e1745584643700-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Simone-Essix-1.50.38-PM-e1745584643700-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/08\/Simone-Essix-1.50.38-PM-e1745584643700.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simone Essix<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Hello, my name is <strong>Simone Dominique Essix<\/strong>.

Between 2012 and 2013, graduation rates for Black students declined from 21.4% to 20.6% and Latinx students remained stagnant at 30.5%. One approach to addressing this issue is to dedicate more attention to underrepresented students\u2019 college transitions and improving their psychological well-being during college. This literature review examines effects of extended family support and depression during college on the college transition of African American and Latinx students. Ten peer-reviewed articles from ProQuest ERIC and psychINFO were examined. Previous literature demonstrates that African American and Latinx students\u2019 college transition is affected by social support they receive from extended family networks. The extended networks that underrepresented students already possess and forge during their college transition are integral assets to improving their retention and graduation. It has been documented that experiences with depression among minority students negatively impacts their college transition. A better understanding of how to properly manage depression during the college transition may contribute to improved college graduation rates for this particular population. Findings indicate that extended family support networks should be regarded as strengths that many African American and Latinx students possess and bring to the collegiate environment thus contributing to their overall well-being. Conclusions provide implications for student affairs professionals, families, and students with insight on how literature may be strengthened and how these findings may contribute to improving college transitions and psychological well-being among this particular demographic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f31700 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1f31700\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b59e915 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b59e915\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea65e0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ea65e0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summer Research Opportunity Program Students<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f7761d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3f7761d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8b5822\" data-id=\"f8b5822\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e717bde elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e717bde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_2905\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2905\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2905 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/06\/srop_skylarranee1999_photo-1-e1759508587247-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/06\/srop_skylarranee1999_photo-1-e1759508587247-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/06\/srop_skylarranee1999_photo-1-e1759508587247-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/drpp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/06\/srop_skylarranee1999_photo-1-e1759508587247.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sky Duke<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>My name is Sky Duke, and I am a rising senior at Central Michigan University (CMU). At CMU, I am a member of the McNair and Honors programs. Additionally, I work as an Online Learning Intern at Mid Michigan College, where I assist with instructional design and digital accessibility. Although my major is in psychology, most of my work within the past few years has been focused on educational research. During that time, I have been involved in research on rural students, mentoring, and first-generation and low-income student success. I plan to pursue a graduate education in higher education following my graduation from CMU, with the goal of establishing a career as an educational researcher within an educational advocacy organization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-311b0d8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"311b0d8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21260e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"21260e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer Research Opportunity Programs Community College Fellows Summer 2023 My name is Isabel Barnes, I am a junior transferring to the University of Michigan this fall.
