From 2004 to 2009, the number of women seeking degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM fields) at the Penn State University Park campus has increased to nearly 8,000 enrollments, a 15% increase. Members of the CfW Assessment Committee worked with members of the Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) members to analyze the fall semester student enrollment data.
GWIS is hosting Women in STEM Week: A week to celebrate and support women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from February 15 - 19, 2010. An ice cream social is being held on February 15 from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in 16 Deike Building (Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum).
