AB  - In spite of continued efforts taken by government, universities, companies, and otherorganizations to increase the involvement of women in science, technology, engineering,mathematics (STEM) disciplines; women remain an Underrepresented Minority (URM). Resultsfrom one of the top ten Midwestern (XXX) University enrollment data for the period 2003-2010demonstrate that the average proportion of women to men in STEM graduate education has been38% versus 62% respectively. This proposal will seek answers to how XXX University canincrease the percentage of women in graduate studies. Since women’s population in UnitedStates is 50% that of male and we are already facing scarcity of workforce in the STEM field, inorder to bridge the gap and fulfill the requirement in workforce we should explore URM group.Bringing more women to graduate school will not only make campus more diversified, but it willalso give women access to higher-status, well-paid STEM careers and add new perspectives toscientific and technological innovation. The proposed project will address multiple initiativesenvisioned in the various graduate schools around the USA which includes student enrollment,diversity, degree completion and retention, time to degree. Our paper will demonstrates methods inwhich women in STEM field will be able to engage themselves more with their peers, gainmentoring from industry experts. Furthermore the use of role models and exposure to successfulwomen in the field will provide them guidance about what they can do to advance their career inSTEM discipline and get networking opportunity. The long-term goal of this project is to providebeneficial strategic recommendations to academic institutions and industry that will enhance therecruitment and retention of women in STEM discipline and help them excel in their careers.
