<p class=MsoNormal>Fifty eight percent of the nation’s college population
is female, yet less than 1/3 major in science, technology, engineering or
mathematics (STEM). Often these women have the ability to study these
fields, but they lack the passion. The seeds of success in mathematics and
science must be planted early in life through engaging experiences, rigorous
academics, motivational teaching and connections to role models.<o:p></o:p></p>
