This move accompanied new doctoral programs that advanced researchand extramural funding. Further, North Dakota State University’s efforts have resulted in recordenrollments for ten consecutive years, and the number of graduate students has nearly doubled ineight years. Research expenditures have increased 108% in only six years, significantly outpacingthe national average.

In fact, according to Hanover research, one key element forretention practices among higher education institutions in the United States and Canada is socialconnectedness [4].College students not only develop the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a professionalcareer after they graduate, but also explore social connections throughout their collegeexperience. Most universities provide many opportunities for students to join various studentorganizations on campus. For example, some of the engineering organizations include studentchapters of professional organizations, including Society of Women Engineers

“and that's why we’re emphasizing math and science. That's why we’re emphasizingteaching girls math and science.” This was followed by the White House creation of theSTEM Master Teacher Corp as a new initiative in July 2012. However, it is still not wellunderstood exactly what factors affect persistence in undergraduate STEM majors andwhere the focus should be placed in order to improve persistence. There is a need forfurther research to help shape policies directed at improving the participation of womenin STEM undergraduate studies.NSF-20122 data for the 2009 high school graduating class showed that women are nowwell represented in advanced math and science high school courses.

Faculty Mentoring Program for Women (FMPW) for all tenure-track women and an Impact Seminar Series for men and women designed to increase facultyeffectiveness by developing new ways of integrating teaching, research, and service.The FMPW, which now includes 80 women, was begun in 2000, and folded into the ADVANCEinitiative in 2003. All new tenure track women are invited to participate in the program. Duringthe first years of the program, the women were paired with senior faculty members, mentors,from their college, but not from their department. Due to a shortage of qualified mentors, theprogram adopted a “group mentoring” model in 2004. Now, a group of women from the samecollege are paired with one or two mentors from their college.

But, if those particular undergraduateprograms have a poor record of retaining women, the graduate school’s admissions practicesprobably limit the pool of women who would be considered for admission and, in turn, likelylimit the number of women admitted. The educational institution should, therefore, adjust itsrecruitment processes to broaden the field from which it selects suitable candidates foradmission.Title IX also prohibits any inquiry into the marital or parental status of an applicant.19 A certainprofessor might prefer not to work with a female graduate student who is or might becomepregnant, for example, because of a real fear that her needs for time off to tend to her childrenmight adversely impact a tight research schedule
