As part of our Evidence-Based Practice Virtual Discussion Series, this 60-minute session highlights the College Student Mentoring Scale (CSMS) Survey, which is a measure included in the S-STEM REC’s Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Repository for faculty and student mentoring. Unlike student advising, student mentoring guides students and provides “deeper psychosocial support” that can help students to “become members of the community of practice they are aiming for” (SERC, 2014). Student mentorship has been found to be a key indicator of whether a student persists in STEM. Our invited speaker, Dr. Gloria Crisp, will discuss the psychometric properties of the survey she developed as part of her dissertation thesis in 2009. She will also discuss developments with the survey and the research since then. Dr. Crisp will also present the practicalities of applying the survey and how research generated from the application of CSMS has resulted in changes to students and their institutions. S-STEM PIs, Co-PIs, program staff, evaluators, and social science researchers are encouraged to attend and share their experiences and questions related to measuring STEM identity.
