WOMUNSCI, for WOMen UNdergraduates in SCIence, is a mailing list for
discussion concerning the topic of increasing participation of
undergraduate women in science. Science is exciting and holds
promising career options, but women are increasingly under-represented
at every successive level of education and employment. What can be
done to attract and retain women in the sciences? This list is
devoted to looking at that question at the undergraduate level.
Membership is open to college science educators and administrators (of
both genders) and women undergraduates interested in science. This
list should be a comfortable place in which to freely engage concerns
and ideas. The list grew out of a workshop held in January 1994 at
Middlebury College and funded by NECUSE, the New England Consortium
for Undergraduate Science Education.
To subscribe to WOMUNSCI, send mail to majordomo@cs.umass.edu
