RÉSUMÉ

As students come from increasingly diverse backgrounds, researchers have called for greater understanding of the relationships between students and their families/home communities to foster college success. Our systematic integrative literature review demonstrates that there is limited information in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) scholarship that builds an understanding of how students navigate their family context in tandem with their STEM college experience, or how STEM programs help or hinder students' connections to home. Despite the important role of family, we found little to no discussion of university efforts to engage students 'families or build meaningful engagement opportunities within local communities that acknowledge students' motivations for pursuing STEM degrees. By investigating the extant literature that is available on the role of family and home community in the lives of college students in STEM, findings from this study can help university STEM programs keep pace with the needs and experiences of students of diverse backgrounds.
