Historical
note
|
|
The
Program for Women in Science and Engineering at Iowa State
University operates under the Office of the Provost, and was
founded in 1987. Based on an earlier Iowa State Committee, the
Program focuses on recruiting and retaining girls and women in
the fields of science and engineering.
The goals of
the Program are to encourage female students to pursue careers
in science and engineering; informing parents and educators
about supportive behavior; and offering support and guidance to
young women in these fields. The Program offers a wide variety
of activities, including internships, career conferences and
role models for pre-college students, workshops for educators,
and internships and scholarships for college women.
