Panel Description
Women earn more bachelor’s degrees than men, but not in most STEM subjects. And, by some estimates, women comprise less than a quarter of all jobs in these fields. Educators, corporate leaders, government officials and many others are taking an all-hands-on-deck approach to engaging more women in science and math. This session will explore specific strategies for getting and keeping women interested in STEM, from nurturing mentor relationships and learning communities to promoting awareness of spatial skills and inclusion to respecting work-life balance and the needs of parent-professionals.

Panelists

• Audrey Goins Brichi, Manager of Diversity and Inclusion, Chevron Office of Global Diversity, Ombuds and University Partnerships
• Kimberly Wright Cassidy, PhD, President, Bryn Mawr College
• Linda D. Hallman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, American Association of University Women
