Abstract
To offset these barriers, eligibility requirements were expanded to make the program accessible to a greater diversity of individuals, with departmental funds used to support non-FWS students. Because historically-excluded students are less likely to utilize university student support services (Stebleton & Diamond 2018), we supplemented WiSER with a curriculum of professional development and community-building activities led by program administrators. [...]whether the WiSER program supported the target population of historically-excluded students using demographic data that compared WiSER participants with the rest of the university. [...]to determine how the program affected student performance in terms of GPA and credit hours, which are both associated with the universitys graduation goals. Analyzed data were made anonymous prior to analysis and can be made available from corresponding author upon reasonable request.
