<i>Ph.D. in Higher Education & Organizational Change<br>
University of California, Los Angeles<br>
</i></b> <br>
Speaking on:<br>
<b> <br>
<i>“Pathways in STEM Education: Organizational Change, Policy, and the
Student Experience”<br>
<br>
</i></b></div>
In her presentation, Dr. Szelényi will focus on two forces of
organizational change shaping higher education in the United States.
First, she will summarize her work in the 2007 National Study of
Living-Learning Programs, an NSF-supported quantitative project of 22,412
undergraduate students at 46 U.S. colleges and universities. Specific
emphasis will be upon the role of residence hall living-learning programs
in facilitating the educational success of undergraduate women in STEM
fields.<br>
<br>
And second, Dr. Szelényi will discuss her multi-institutional qualitative
project of 70 graduate students and faculty, examining the ways in which
commercial and entrepreneurial cultural influences are reshaping graduate
student socialization in science and engineering fields. The presentation
will describe the dominant organizational climates of science and
engineering doctoral education and present data-driven policy
implications for governmental authorities, universities, and
faculty.<br>
