在这篇文章中，玛丽-埃琳娜·雷耶斯展示了有色人种女性在从社区学院转学到大学时在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域面临的问题。社区大学在使代表不足的群体更多地参与STEM方面提供了巨大的潜力。许多有色人种女性通过社区大学进入高等教育，但转校率很低，转学到大学STEM的学生的保留率更低。通过对国家科学基金会资助的未来反弹计划参与者的采访，雷耶斯揭示了一种氛围，即颜色转移学生的女性经历了因为年龄、种族和性别而不属于她们的态度和待遇，以及转移学生没有做好充分准备的先入为主的观念。雷耶斯提出，整合应对这些挑战的方案和政策可以提高妇女的转移率和保留率。
In this article, Marie-Elena Reyes presents the issues faced by women of color in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) as they transfer from community colleges to universities. Community colleges offer a great potential for diversifying and increasing participation of underrepresented groups in STEM. Many women of color enter higher education through community colleges, but transfer rates are low, and retention rates of transfer students into STEM at universities are lower still. Through interviews conducted with participants in the National Science Foundation–funded Futurebound program, Reyes reveals an atmosphere in which women of color transfer students experience attitudes and treatment signaling that they do not belong because of age, ethnicity, and gender as well as preconceptions that transfer students are not adequately prepared. Reyes proposes that programs and policies to integrate responses to these challenges could improve the transfer rates and retention of women of...
