  Graduate School of Education
  University of California, Riverside

Invites you to attend a Colloquium by:

Dr. Katalin Szelényi
Ph.D. in Higher Education & Organizational Change
University of California, Los Angeles

Speaking on:

“Pathways in STEM Education: Organizational 
Change, Policy, and the Student Experience”

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.

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.
