title = "Special Session: Exploring the Struggles of Diverse Engineering Students through Stories and Imagining a Future with an Inclusive Culture",
abstract = "Many engineering students from marginalized populations have had negative experiences regarding their identities (race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression, etc.) as a result of the culture in engineering. These negative experiences may range from microaggressions regarding a person's marginalized identity - 'It's impressive for a woman to be in engineering'-to outright discrimination, such as being called a demoralizing slur by a peer. Often associated with these experiences is a lack of support or intervention from faculty, advisors, or staff, as well as difficulty finding mentors that students can identify with. This special session aims to share authentic stories from diverse engineering students to facilitate a discussion of solutions amongst attendees.",
