Project Turning Point: An Educational Equity Model for Mature Minority Women.
Kunen, Gloria L.; Spence, Rod J.
Information on Project Turning Point, an educational equity model for mature minority women at the nontraditional State University of New York College at Old Westbury, is presented in this report. Minority women have essentially been locked out of mobile careers due to sexual and racial discrimination and lack of adequate preparation in mathematics. The project designed to encourage and support minority women to enter and succeed in four-year arts and sciences institutions recognizes that the Black woman's experience must be addressed specifically and not be subsumed under the concept of all women facing the same problems. Official networks to counsel and support mature minority women in transition from conditions of suburban isolation are provided. Help is provided in the form of community outreach and support services workshop series, training in women's studies and math anxiety reduction, understanding of racism and early sex role stereotyping, and presentation within a familiar and convenient setting. Announcement brochures are attached. Contains 33 references. (SM)
