Inhalt: "This article presents findings from a study that investigated the impact of a women
in science and engineering residence program (WISE-RP) on the retention of women in
science and engineering disciplines. From a matched sample of 1,852 science and engineering
students, the authors compared WISE-RP participants with male and female control students
for science and engineering retention. The findings suggest a strong connection between
WISE-KP participation and science retention, but not engineering retention. The results
also indicate that a WISE-RP is more effective in retaining White and Asian students
than underrepresented students of color. The authors highlight the importance of combining
academic and personal support in a residential learning program and draw implications
for retaining women - science, mathematics, and engineering disciplines." (author's
