The EECS Student Experience StoryCorps Archive Project (SESAP) was created in the 2022-2023 academic year and led by Dr. Rachael Cate, Senior Instructor and Educational Program Researcher in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University. The project collects the experiences of undergraduate and graduate students in EECS who self-identify as members of historically underserved communities, based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, first-generation college student status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and/or disability. In each interview Cate provides introductory remarks, after which time narrators share their stories drawing on guiding prompts including: individual identity, community and cultural background, intersectionality, their strengths as Engineering students, and recommendations for how the academy and industry can better support students from underserved communities.

The collection is comprised of 20-30 minute recorded Zoom interviews structured as autoethnographic testimonios. In their project documentation, the SESAP organizers describe this approach as follows: "The term auto-ethnography designates the agency exercised by each of the participants appearing in the archive as the authors of their own stories that center on their experiences of culture, identity, and power. The term testimonio further designates the type of narratives offered here as accounts that bear witness and testify about events, including injustices, that have powerfully impacted the lives of individuals and communities."

In addition to Zoom recordings saved as *.mp4 files, the collection consists of narrator biographies, signed permissions forms, and administrative documents. The raw video of each interview is available online.
