Dear STEM Educator,

I'm so excited to tell you about this Telesummit, a can't miss event for educators—particularly at the community college level—who are serious about enrolling up to 25-50% female students in their STEM programs and ensuring high retention rates for their female AND male students.

You're in the right place if...

  • You have tried to recruit female students and found your efforts haven't worked
  • You have limited time and want to ensure your recruitment efforts are effective and efficient
  • You finally recruited one or two female students... Only to have them drop out
  • Your male retention rate also needs improvement

It's time to increase the number of women in STEM through data-driven strategies with demonstrated outcomes that actually work!

 

Your STEM programs can emulate those that have...

  • More than doubled female enrollment
  • Increased retention of female AND male students
  • Improved recruitment and retention of women of color
  • Significantly increased the number of students in introductory courses choosing STEM majors

This free online Telesummit is filled with secrets and strategies from 11 of the country's top experts and practitioners in the successful recruitment and retention of women in STEM.

Our speakers will share case studies and best practices to boost your recruitment efforts and help your female students succeed.

 

Participation is FREE. The National Science Foundation is supporting the STEM Success for Women Telesummit so you can get access to this at no cost.

All you need is a computer to participate from anywhere in the world.

The event starts Monday, April 13 and runs through April 16, 2015. Session times are 10 am, 12 pm and 2 pm PDT (1 pm, 3 pm, and 5 pm EDT). Each session will be one hour. We'll be sending you the finalized speaker line up when you register.

We invite all educators, particularly at the community college level, to join us.

Save your spot right away

 

 

11 of the top experts and practitioners on recruiting and retaining women in STEM education are going to show you...

CheckMark The strategies that led to a 95% increase in female enrollment in one community college STEM program
 
CheckMark The recruitment strategies that increased female enrollment in intro computer programming courses by 62%
 
CheckMark How participating in pair programming led to 46% of women declaring a computer science related major compared to 11% of women who worked independently. More men declared a computer science major, too
 
CheckMark How teaching spatial reasoning can improve retention of female engineering students by 42% in only 12 contact hours
 
CheckMark How a computer networking IT department improved female enrollment by more than 46% and increased retention of female students by 23%
 
CheckMark How two STEM Academic Scholarship Programs at Arizona State University retained and graduated over 90% of their students (40% were female)
 
CheckMark How 92% job placement success was achieved by an Empowerment, Education and Employment program
 
CheckMark And how women in STEM fields measurably improve those industries' bottom lines

Where is the event located?

Wherever you are! This free STEM Telesummit is virtual and you can access all of our content by calling in or through a free Internet webcast. Recordings will be available, so if you miss a live session, no worries.

Your time is now!

There's no reason to continue using recruitment and retention strategies that don't work for female or male students in STEM.

The event starts Monday, April 13 and runs through April 16. I look forward to seeing you there to learn the keys to recruiting and retaining more women to STEM!

Warmly,

donnamilgramsignature
