Half of the respondents indicated that theirprogress might have been easier if they were male, and half of them stated that children were ahindrance to progress. Female students were largely prevented from pursuing higher education until the 19thcentury. Before then, female seminaries were the primary alternative for women who wished toearn a higher degree. However, women’s rights activists fought for higher education for femalestudents, and college campuses turned out to be fertile ground for gender equality activism [30].In the early 1900’s, at the University of London, all degrees were available to

Finding the right student(s) for a projectcontinues to be a challenging task. The group sometimes struggles to align the skillsets, interests,and availability of students with the needs of the project outcomes.

SuccessRetention and student success data in the College from the early 2000’s indicated that first-timestudents who placed into Math 1110 (Algebra II) were much less likely to be retained to thesecond year and to ultimately complete their degree (whether from the College or from anothermajor at WMU) than students who entered the College placing into at least MATH 1180 (Pre-Calculus). Further refinement of the retention data showed that students achieving a grade inAlgebra II of lower than ‘B’ were even less likely to complete their degree successfully thanstudents who completed Algebra II with a ‘B’ or higher (a ‘C’ or higher is required by theMathematics Department to proceed to Pre-Calculus). Based on these observations, starting in2013, a separate
