Department of Workforce Development (DWD, 2014), it is projectedthat up to 123,660 jobs in STEM fields will need to be filled by 2022 within the state. . Thisproject could be a big contributor of making graduates ready for jobs in STEM areas by year2024.The DWD projects health and safety engineers (excluding mining safety) to have a significantincrease of 15.1% by 2022 [1]. Also, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has projectedthat the safety jobs (all occupations within this category, including mining safety) will have46,507 job openings due to growth and replacement needs between 2014-2024. As a result, theBLS expects the total jobs in all occupations of safety to reach 160,329 by 2024. Accordingly,the typical entry-level education for

results validated in Matlab R2016a). The primary outcome measure was percentagefemale in the incoming orthopaedic residency class by residency year (𝑃"# ). Data were analyzedvia graphical representation (% female by year) and descriptive statistics.Results The results of our mathematical model (Figure 2) suggest that our outreach programmingefforts will increase the rate of women in orthopaedic residency to the critical threshold of 30%[11] within the next 6 years (by 2022) and eventually reach a plateau of 45% female within 10years (by 2025). If we assume worst-case conditions – that is, we underestimate the rates ofmatriculation from our program into orthopaedics – we will achieve 30% female within 10 years,and this will be the

held inWashington D.C. in February 2022. Hopefully, this event will allow participants to network inperson and establish closer and more supportive professional and personal ties to one another.Adopting an Energy Theme in Common. The decision was made to pivot to a topic that ispopular among undergraduates. Given CISTAR’s focus as an ERC, we choose Energy for OurGrowing World: How a wide range of energy sources (renewables, emerging energytechnologies—biofuels, solar, nuclear, wind—and fossil fuels and shale) serve the needs ofpeople, and how we balance those needs against the impact these energy sources differentiallyhave on our world. The advantages of having a common theme around Energy for Our GrowingWorld are five-fold:1. The topic of

than 9 million between 2012 and 2022. The increase in jobs in STEM fields means that moreworkers will be needed to fill these occupations and therefore the cultivation of a robust, diverse,and equitable STEM workforce pipeline is essential.For the past couple of decades, efforts to establish systematic initiatives to nurture a strong STEMworkforce pipeline has been a major topic of national educational reform debates. Although thereare various perspectives regarding the processes to advance STEM excellence, there is a consensusthat STEM education is fundamentally linked to national prosperity and enhanced quality of lifefor individuals working in STEM fields. The investment in STEM education has significanteconomic and societal impacts

wereanalyzed to better understand the mechanisms that prevent them from maximizing their potentialfor success in engineering and related STEM fields. Interviews revealed that students mustovercome institutional obstacles such as: (a) inadequate academic advising, (b) poor qualityteaching, (c) limited course offerings, and (d) insufficient financial aid. This paper includesrecommendations that are helpful to faculty, staff and administrators who are interested inincreasing the number of Black and Latino male graduates in engineering and related STEMfields.IntroductionBy 2022, the United States will need approximately 1 million more professionals in science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields (U.S. Department of Education, 2016).STEM

may be hard tomeasure. I have volunteered for more leadership opportunities as a result of running this regionalconference. At NKU, I agreed to serve as an Associate Dean and Chair. I also stepped up whenasked to volunteer with NCWIT, serving in various positions including a 3-year rotation as a co-chair of the Academic Alliance. Finally, I was more confident to volunteer with ACM SIGCSE.I served as ACM/SIGCSE Bulletin co-editor, am currently serving as co-chair for ACM/SIGCSEKidsCamp, and will serve as symposium co-chair for 2022 and 2023. Most, if not all, of theseopportunities resulted from connections I made organizing TRIWIC. I encourage others toorganize a conference! It is fulfilling in and of itself; but more than that, you get to
