Presidential Awards For Excellence In Science, Mathematics, & Engineering Mentoring

在过去的二十年里，密歇根大学（UM）WISE计划制定并实施了一系列方案活动，以增加成功攻读科学，数学和工程专业，高级学位和职业的女学生人数。方案服务范围从为1 300名中学女生提供服务的暑期讲习班到为1 000多名一年级和二年级本科女生提供住所的生活学习住宿方案;从旨在鼓励妇女进行科学和工程研究生学习的暑期研究方案到为女研究生建立的同伴指导网络。 WISE方案在中小企业领域征聘和留住妇女方面产生了重大影响。 例如，密歇根大学工程学本科女生入学率从1980年的17%上升到1999年的32%。 1980年，只有18%的科学和数学学位授予了女性。 如今，生物化学专业的女生占42%;细胞和分子生物学专业的女生占46%;数学专业的女生占44%;地质学专业的女生占45%。

For the past two decades, the University of Michigan (UM) WISE program has developed and implemented a host of programmatic activities to increase the number of women students who successfully pursue majors, advanced degrees and careers in science, mathematics and engineering (SME). Program services range from summer workshops that have served 1,300 middle school girls to a living-learning residential program that has been home for more than 1,000 first- and second- year undergraduate women; from a summer research program aimed at encouraging women to undertake graduate studies in science and engineering to a peer mentoring network for women graduate students. The WISE program has made a significant impact in the recruitment and retention of women in SME fields. For example, UM engineering undergraduate enrollment of women increased from 17% in 1980 to 32% in 1999. In 1980, only 18% of the science and mathematics degrees awarded by UM went to women. Today, 42% of the biochemistry majors are women; 46% of the cellular and molecular biology majors; 44% of the mathematics majors; and 45% of the geology majors.
