Her extensive experience in business development, strategic planning, marketing, operations, and leadership have left a lasting impact on overall business performance from start-up to turn-around situations. Ms. Pyle is recognized for her unusual ability to quickly create clarity around key issues to ensure that strategic plans are developed, executed and monitored for success. This clarity of vision is informed by her highly diverse career, starting as an exploration/development petroleum geologist, including a brief stint in education when she lived in Venezuela, and to the present day when her clients have ranged from a heavy equipment manufacturer to a discount

Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URAs) for the womenhonors students.Introduction - RISER program interventions for improving early retentionRetention of freshmen female engineering students associated with any of the honors programs,or taking the honors version of EF, was a concern at the time the proposal was submitted. In2010 this group was low in total number but the percentage of these women leaving engineeringduring their freshmen year was high. The PI’s believed that one reason for this was that most ofthese young women were concerned about their career path having a clear connection to beingbeneficial to society. The RISER URA program was initiated for these students to buildmentoring relationships with faculty members, senior researchers

By working with corporate mentors studentsbecame better acclimated to the engineering profession through the use of engineering acumen,and problem solving techniques. This opportunity allowed students meaningful early exposure tothe engineering discipline and helped to shape their understanding of the field. This engagementprovided a basis for future skills needed for project based learning such as capstone coursework[7].Among the major University partners for the Summer Bridge Program are the Math and ChemistryDepartments, the Learning Center, University Library, Career Services and the Writing Center.Each of these provide unique services that benefit the program.

Through a grant from the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Education Grants Program, the STEM Center was established at a community college in Northern California. The STEM Center integrated all STEM student support services within STEM academic study. Through leveraging multiple grants, the STEM Center provides a set of comprehensive student support services, including study groups, tutoring, STEM-specific academic counseling and career exploration, and information on internships and scholarships.

Forinstance, Carpi et al.4 presented survey results showing that STEM studentsreceiving financial assistance left due to a belief that non-STEM majors offergreater intrinsic value, a loss of interest, or a career-associated lifestyle.

The advantage to assigning all new students a mentor is thatstudents who do not feel comfortable asking for help, or who do not initially perceive a need formentoring, have ready access to a mentor when a need arises.Mentor Recruitment and BenefitsPeer mentors are recruited on a volunteer basis and are unpaid, which is different from someother programs that may provide a salary, stipend, or other financial compensation. The peermentor program uses forms of non-monetary compensation and benefits, such as mentor-specifictraining and access to exclusive events and activities.

From observations of high school cybersecuritycompetitions, we find that typical high school cybersecurity competitions focus narrowly oncomputer-technical competencies. A byproduct of these competitions is to create an intimidatingatmosphere that rewards young adults who are already proficient in computer IT activities, but adiscouraging environment to students who may have burgeoning interests in cybersecurity.Additionally, the skill set needed for cybersecurity
