Davis, Mayra Nuñez Martinez, Jordan A. Reed, and Lia Wetzstein  \nDATA NOTE 6 | SEPTEMBER 2025  \n“My biggest goal in all of this is to use what I learn to give back. I want to help others rebuild, innovate, and provide a voice to those who are being unfairly underrepresented or overlooked.”  \n(Student Member ofa STEM Transfer Partnerships team)  \nINTRODUCTION: THE NEED FOR AUTHENTIC STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE  \nStudents are most directly impacted by institutional policies and reforms, yet they remain largely absent from the processes that shape them. This is especially true for transfer students, many of whom are first-generation, from lowincome backgrounds, and navigating disjointed pathways across institutions. Transfer students’ lived expertise is rarely leveraged in designing more equitable systems.  \nTransfer students bring deep, embodied knowledge of how institutional systems function, as well as their challenges. For those navigating multiple institutions, often from marginalized communities, this knowledge is critical to reshaping policies in ways that promote equity and success. To make real change in higher education, student involvement needs to go beyond token participation. Students should be treated as partners, helping lead, make decisions, and shape the teams working to remove barriersand improve transfer systems for the long term.  \nThis data note examines the work of 16 institutions in the STEM Transfer Partnerships (STP) Community of Practice (CoP) to add student team members to their change teams in  \norder to center student voice and experiences in their work to improve postsecondary transfer systems.  \nStudent Roles On Stem Transfer Partnerships Change Teams  \nThe STP initiative is a multi-year, research-informed effort to improve STEM transfer and degree completion for students from low-income backgrounds in Washington State. Facilitated by Community College Research Initiatives (CCRI) at the University of Washington, STP consists of nine cross-institutional teams composed of faculty, staff, administrators, and now undergraduate students from  \n16 two-and four-year colleges and universities. Each team participates in an ongoing CoP to identify and address institutional barriers to STEM transfer, drawing on student data and equity-centered strategies. STP provides structured coaching, annual convenings, and resources that support locally defined, systems-level change (see STP Data Notes 1-5 for more details) . To strengthen this work, CCRI also builds in regular opportunities for reflection and process improvement, periodically surveying CoP members to understand their experiences and surface ways we can better support them. These surveys inform adjustments to the structure, facilitation, and resources of the CoP, positioning improvement as a shared responsibility among  \n[uw. edu/cc ri](uw. edu/cc ri) 1  \nSTEM TRANSFER PARTNERSHIP SERIES | Supporting Student Engagement on STEM Transfer Partnerships Teams  \nCCRI coaches, faculty, staff, administrators, and students who are working together toward the same goal.  \nIn fall 2024, STP expanded its approach to include students as participants of change teams, launching a new phase of the initiative that we refer to as STP 2.0. Participating institutions were required to recruit and hire at least one student team member. Student team members also participated in a dedicated student CoP. During the first year, a group of peer mentors trained in equity-centered organizational change by the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) provided additional support by facilitating the student CoP sessions and whole-CoP sessions at the annual convening. These sessions provided professional development and support for students as well as facul","cbCaii4T96YXHoCl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii4T96YXHoCl","pdf",234247,"English","# Introduction: The Need for Authentic Student Engagement in Organizational Change\n# Student Roles On STEM Transfer Partnerships Change Teams\n# Key Findings from Year One of STP 2.0\n## Why Students Engage: Student Motivations","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the data note address about student involvement in organizational change?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses how students—especially transfer students—are largely absent from institutional processes that shape policies.
