STEM collegeeducation. These findings have important implications. First, it is imperative to design STEM outreachprograms with engaging activities that help increase participants' knowledge of STEM, becausesuch programs boost students' confidence in their readiness for relatively challenging STEM highereducation that leads to a STEM career. In addition, the CCSU NSTI program receives significantcontributions from female professionals, exposing students to successful female role models. Thispractice is supposed to have positive impacts on female students' pursuit of STEM,13 but more workis needed to cultivate female high school students' interest and persistence in STEM. The followingare respective activities that, in concert with each

While only a subset of students reported that theydefinitely wanted to teach and were looking into graduate programs in education, other internsstated that they would consider teaching at some point within their careers.IntroductionSince the 1980s, educational researchers have warned of the shortage of highly qualified scienceand math teachers.1 Currently, the demand for qualified science and mathematics teachersoutpaces the supply, especially in high-need schools.2 The response to this warning has beentwo-fold: to enact strategies to retain teachers3 and to recruit

If our best and brightest inspire to attend eliteschools and upon graduation take jobs, rather than create businesses, one may ask if ourinstructional approach to teaching entrepreneurship is changing mindsets. Upon reflection, wemust ask ourselves, “Does an educational experience infused with entrepreneurship create moreentrepreneurial minded people?”, and more specifically, “How can we assess if a change inmindset is occurring on our campus?”There are two macroscale approaches to conducting research on the subject of entrepreneurship,with one focusing on the impact of entrepreneurship in the economy and how
