Hang in there! You are somebody's hope. There is a rumor mulling around in colleges across the land that science, technology, engineering, and math are the "hardcore" fields that some advance, others try, and many avoid. Women and minorities are grossly underrepresented in STEM careers and the numbers continue to decline. In a 2010 Bayer Corp. survey of 1,226 women and underrepresented minority chemists and chemical engineers, 40 percent said they were discouraged from pursuing a STEM career. Sixty percent said college was where most of the discouragement happened. STEM careers offer a rewarding journey of innovation and powerful contributions, solutions, and tools that secure and advance our future. So, what do you need to do to overcome challenges and succeed in these fields?
At the end of this workshop, college students will:
- Explore STEM Stats and common reasons students get discouraged.
- Create a resource toolbox and networking plan to overcome challenges.
- Explore 7 key habits that can increase success.
- Examine the benefits and options of a great STEM Career Path.
