Inhalt: "In 1991, a 6-year program was initiated at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to
stimulate the retention and promotion of women scientists, mathematicians, and engineers
and to support women graduate students in the same fields. The program included modest
financial support, mentoring, and networking opportunities for faculty and graduate
students. The results of the program suggest that such initiatives can increase the
number of women in science, mathematics, and engineering. Furthermore, with increasing
numbers, women faculty feel more comfortable in an institution. The presence of more
female mentors seems to have contributed to attracting and graduating more female
graduate students." (author's abstract)|
