AB  - Peer Mentoring Program: Providing early intervention and support to improve retention andsuccess of women in engineering, computer science, and physicsJennifer I. Clark1, Sarah L. Codd2, Angela C. Des Jardins3, Christine M. Foreman2, Brett W.Gunnink2, Carolyn Plumb2, Katherine Stocker3Affiliations:1  Department of Education, Montana State University2  College of Engineering, Montana State University3  Physics Department, Montana State UniversityAs the student to faculty ratio has grown in the College of Engineering at Montana StateUniversity, there was concern that students were less likely to have the necessary contacts withfaculty that help them establish the connections and sense of community essential to providingopportunities for growth. Last year a college-wide Peer-Mentoring program was initiated.The program began with two mentors and a subset of women in the college. An organizedprogram of activities was developed based on a theoretical framework that both trains andchallenges these mentors to provide informational resources, connections and support to allfreshmen and sophomore women in the college.The current program funds thirteen upper-division female mentors, each with a $2,000 annualstipend, to engage with all freshman and sophomore women in the College of Engineering and inPhysics. Each mentor is assigned about 30 mentees. The overall objectives of the Peer MentoringProgram are to:     1. Provide early intervention.     2. Ensure that 1st and 2nd year female students see positive role models.     3. Provide a well-informed, well-connected “helper” for 1st and 2nd year female students.     4. Get 1st and 2nd year female students involved in study groups.     5. Get 1st and 2nd year female students involved in student clubs and organizations.     6. Get 2nd year female students involved in research/internships/study abroad programs.     7. Increase 1st and 2nd year and 2nd to 3rd year retention of female students in engineering,        computer science, and physics.The Peer Mentors participate in group training sessions involving reading, writing and discussionbased assignments in order to be successful Peer Mentors. All Peer Mentors participate in anetworking session with department heads and key administrators in the college. An example ofsome of the training materials being used for the Peer Mentors include: “Students HelpingStudents: A Guide for Peer Educators on Campuses” by F. B. Newton, S. Ender and J. Gardner;and Who Gets to Graduate? By P. Tough May 15, 2014http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/magazine/who-gets-to-graduate.html?_r=4;
