STEM Equity Pipeline/MN New Look

About 50 secondary and postsecondary faculty and administrators are attending this workshop on October 12 at the Eisenhower Community Center in Hopkins, MN, where we're learning how to look at statewide enrollment data for programs preparing individuals for careers that are nontraditional for women and men. We're hoping to gain insight into gender gaps in students' enrollment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs. CTL staff Brenda Lyseng, Zala Fashant and Yvonne Shafer are also attending the workshop, which is part of the STEM Equity Pipeline Project that is a collaborative effort between State Teams and an Extension Services Group of leading researchers and practitioners in gender equity and STEM education. Staff members from the Minnesota Department of Education are also in attendance.

To make efficient use of national presenters and resources, the STEM Equity Pipeline group is facilitating the workshop along with the organization MN New Look that is focused on program improvement for nontraditional careers.
