Posters create a buzz on campus: A note from Donna
Hi, I'm Donna Milgram, the Executive Director of IWITTS.
Why is it important to have these women in STEM posters on your campus? You are going to find that they will not only help your school with recruiting women and girls, they will also help raise awareness and create a cultural change on your campus.
A Dean that I have worked with at two colleges told me that the posters started a conversation about women working in these fields that was positive. In automotive technology at the first college, and across multiple career pathways at his new college, students talked about how "cool" it was for women to work in these fields. The buzz on campus spread to faculty, who became more enthusiastic about their school's "Women's Initiative," a campaign to increase female students in predominantly male courses. "Now," he told me, "even male faculty are asking me, 'When is our next Women's Initiative team meeting?'"
We cannot underestimate the importance of images in bringing about change. And when you have these posters up around your campus and in your community it sends a welcoming message from your school.
By hanging these posters in your hallways, classrooms and around campus, you'll help imprint images of female role models in the minds of your female (and male) students. These images send a positive counteracting message and help women picture themselves in these occupations.
Don't let any more potential students miss out on high-paying, rewarding careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Women bring a different perspective to the classroom and the workplace. It's up to you to help students picture themselves in these careers!
I know you'll find these posters to be a valuable tool in your tool belt as you work towards increasing the number of female students in your classes!
Best regards,
Donna
