Institutions’ motivations for pursuing diversity, equity, inclusion and justice (DEIJ) often center on the benefits to organization, an argument known as business case diversity in which diverse teams are more creative, set high bars research, produce ideas that innovative than those produced by homogeneous groups. As sole motivation DEIJ efforts, is flawed does not address harmful workplaces many marginalized scholars encounter. Institutions can make progress towards diversifying STEM...

Abstract For 15 years, the Undergraduate Leadership Workshop (ULW) has connected undergraduate students with scientists, engineers, educators, and leadership at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. The week-long program gives exposure to research areas graduate school career options atmospheric sciences. ULW provides mentoring, training professional skills, a chance meet peers this field. An evaluation of program, including surveys focus groups alumni from...

In the Earth system sciences, motivations of organizations for pursuing diversity, equity, inclusion and justice (DEIJ) often center on benefits to institution or science enterprise. The argument is known as “business case diversity” in which diverse teams are more creative, set high bars research, produce ideas that innovative than those produced by homogeneous groups.  While true, sole motivation DEIJ efforts, business insufficient does not address harmful...

Abstract The Advanced Study Program (ASP) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research has supported career development of postdoctoral fellows over 60 years. This study ASP alumni helps better understand their paths and provides a window into geoscience community. It examines aspirations job satisfaction, as well experiences with mentoring attitudes about diversity inclusion in workplace. While half today work academia, changes pursuit careers outside academia are increasing. Former...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many undergraduate internships, including National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs, were canceled or moved online. Although several studies have examined student success during online transition, less research has how REU programs changed from this experience, ongoing and novel challenges, strategies that program coordinators employed to overcome them. To investigate gap, site surveyed in NSF Geosciences (GEO)...
