The group chartered amission to “provide leadership in a collaborative environment with faculty, staff, students,alumni and others to improve recruitment, retention and graduation support for women inengineering and computing…”. Members of the Committee engage with the College regularlyand give both guidance and action to efforts related to student success for women students andfaculty.Recently, the Committee embarked on the development of a strategic plan to maximize theimpact of the

There were 26 camp participants representing variousschool districts of San Antonio with a special emphasis of recruiting from underrepresentedcommunities. The camp was planned, coordinated, and directed by the authors who were also theprincipal investigators of the miniGEMS program.

In order to achieve this, the CECMdepartment plans to expose a wide range of groups to the civil engineering profession before theyenter Georgia Southern University by developing relationships with local high schools and communitycolleges.

In the LSE program,iterative revision and recreation of an individualized curriculum and career plan are understoodas signs of success rather than failure or deviation. Students are encouraged to understand anddesign their major as a “whole-person technical degree” that does not require them to pass, toassimilate, to compartmentalize, or to conform to stereotypes. We suggest that this holisticflexibility may disrupt barriers such as impostor syndrome by positioning the student not asimpostor but as designer and creator – even when enrolled in technical courses in which thesex/gender ratio is skewed male.
