This study can be easily modified for secondary-schools because a welcomingatmosphere is independent of a STEM program.Even high school females are still young enough to engage in STEM-related career aspects butcomes with complications. A long-term study involving minority women [11] with mixed resultsidentify several barriers to pursue engineering. Their recommendations imply that fosteringstrong sense of community, attuning counselors to non-academic problems (e.g., affordingcollege) and familiarizing students with job opportunities are plausible approaches.

On a competitive application basis, select students in the EIP will be placed in these entrepreneurial internships each summer.• Freshmen/Sophomore Emphasis – In contrast to many entrepreneurship programs that are aimed at graduate students or upperclassmen, the EIP is exclusively designed for freshmen and sophomores. When entrepreneurship and innovation are introduced early, the knowledge gained significantly impacts direction towards more entrepreneurial and innovative careers. This knowledge combines with the community to create a dynamic hub for entrepreneurial skills building and innovative venturing.Program SizeUnderstanding the importance of developing a sense of community among program students

There are multiple ways in which social capital has an impact on pursuit of graduateeducation, including access, equality in support (emotionally, financially, academically),mentorship, and feelings of belonging during transition. If a student is traditionallyunderrepresented in graduate education, the strength of their social capital may be the decidingfactor in their pursuit of graduate education [[14]-[17]. Social capital plays a role in academicand professional success and identity formation [18].

Theuse of cohort groups is one such strategy.A “cohort” has been defined as a group of students who enroll at the same time and take coursesat the same time for the duration of their educational tenure [1]. Beyond the structuralimplications of this definition, Drago-Severson [2] refers to a cohort as a “tight-knit, reliable,common-purpose group.” A cohort can also be thought of as a simple form of a “learningcommunity,” a programmatic effort to create an academic and social community for
