LECTURE SERIES FOR WOMEN STUDENTS IN STEM 

(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

 

Energizing and Inspiring High 

Performance in Mathematics and 

Science

 

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.

 

This will be a high-energy presentation with opportunity for audience
interaction. Research based comments will focus on the importance of
mathematics and science education to our country's economic vitality, our
personal quality of life and our national security; using interesting and
relevant real life examples that inspire and set the stage for meaningful
and continued learning.
