Transitioning to a leadership mentality as a peermentor has the potential to foster self-efficacy in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and socially stable academic relationships that may be replicated in post-graduate study and/or the workplace.

This has inspired some to look to Title IX to similarly transform science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) educational programs and activities to achieve similargains. But Title IX in the athletic context differs markedly from Title IX in the academiccontext, and similar tactics likely cannot produce similar results.This paper looks at Title IX in the academic context, differentiates it from Title IX in the athleticcontext and explores how successes in one area do not necessarily portend similar successes inthe other.
