On-site Assessment of the Women in Science Career Facilitation Program.
Katzenmeyer, Conrad; Lawrenz, Frances
A study of the Women in Science Program, particularly the Career Facilitation Projects, was conducted through on-site visits to assess initial project functioning to determine whether alterations in the program guidelines should be recommended. Based on the individual on-site reports, findings and conclusions are presented, participants and projects are categorized. Participants are categorized as those who are currently not working and wish to return gradually or wish to return full-time, and those already working who wish to change jobs. Project emphases are categorized as updating previous academic backgrounds, providing new career direction, or a combination of both. Recommendations are made regarding the Women in Science Career Facilitation Projects. Individual on-site reports are provided from 11 colleges and universities: American University; University of California at Davis; Chestnut Hill College; University of Dayton; George Mason University; University of Lowell; University of Notre Dame; Polytechnic Institute of New York; College of St. Catherine; University of Texas-Austin; and Washington State University.
