Representation matters and is the center of many conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging today. Representation is not just another trend, and an overwhelming amount of literature and data indicate a need for increased cultural representation, particularly in academia. This Action Research study aimed to understand the underlying barriers and gaps affecting faculty recruitment at two-year institutions and to bolster knowledge within two-year schools that do not have a pipeline (qualified candidates ready for hire) of Black faculty in technical and S.T.E.M. academic programs. Thirty-four faculty participants were surveyed and interviewed in Cycle 1. In Cycle 2, an additional 27 faculty were involved. Action research is a method of exploration that catalyzes conversations, data, and strategies such that when full-time roles open in two-year academic programs, equal opportunity is possible. In this study, action steps, including a report of Cycle 1 findings with tangible improvements proposed, and Campus Colloquy events were designed, implemented, and evaluated in Cycle 2. The goal of these steps was to open honest dialogue and present tangible improvements driven by S.T.E.M. and technical faculty collaboration through conversations and feedback. Findings show that implementation of college campus events, such as the Campus Colloquy implemented at Rural Tech Success in partnership with a faculty development organization, is effective. They also show that reporting research about barriers that exist in academic Black faculty recruitment to stakeholders, such as faculty and administrators at two-year colleges, can be effective in opening dialogue and encouraging improvements in Black faculty recruitment in S.T.E.M. and technical programs. Issues for the organization included not having succession plans or ready pipelines from high school through college in the area to hire full-time Black faculty in S.T.E.M. and technical education.
