SUMMARY:Broadening Participation Among Women and Minorities in STEM: Understanding Educational Pathways 
DESCRIPTION:
 \n
 Broadening Participation Among Women and Minorities 
 in STEM: Understanding Educational Pathways 
 from Community Colleges to Four-Year Universities.\n
 In 
 this presentation, Starobin 
 will share results from Iowa survey study that 
 used her own instrument (212 items organized 
 with 67 questions) known as: STEM Student Success 
 Literacy (SSSL) survey. SSSL survey measures 
 community college students' self-efficacy, 
 social capital, and transfer knowledge that 
 help students to successfully and seamlessly 
 transfer from a community college to a four-year 
 university in STEM fields. This study 
 explores how institutions of higher education 
 directly and indirectly create a learning environment 
 that promotes the success of women 
 and minorities. In this presentation, Starobin 
 will focus on key factors that help traditionally 
 underrepresented students and show the 
 level of literacy of community college students 
 regarding their transfer readiness for obtaining 
 a baccalaureate degree in STEM fields.\n\n
