OverviewAI-generated summary
Trina L. Fletcher's research focuses on understanding factors that influence student success and professional development, particularly within STEM fields and at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Fletcher serves as PI on an NSF-funded grant totaling $199,999, which investigates the "HBCU Leadership Crisis on STEM Broadening Participation and Research Capacity Building - Impact and Implications."
Her publications explore topics such as the impact of same-race teachers on student attendance, diversity in engineering degree attainment for Black women, and the effects of COVID-19 on the sense of belonging for engineering students and faculty at HBCUs. Fletcher has also studied the role of student-mentor leadership opportunities in developing STEM identity and the academic predictors of cooperative education participation. Her work includes investigations into remote work satisfaction for Black engineers and computer scientists and the perception of student absenteeism by teachers.
