For permission to use, or to suggest additional materials, please contact the author at e-mail: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu This guide to non-technical English-language materials is not meant to be a comprehensive or scholarly introduction to the complex topic of the role of women in astronomy. It is simply a resource for educators and students who wish to begin exploring the challenges and triumphs of women of the past and present. It’s also an opportunity to get to know the lives and work of some of the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make significant contributions to our field. We only include a representative selection of living women astronomers about whom non-technical material at the level of beginning astronomy students is easily available. Lack of inclusion in this introductory list is not meant to suggest any less importance. We also don’t include Wikipedia articles, although those are sometimes a good place for students to begin. Suggestions for additional non-technical listings are most welcome.

  • Lindenwood University • 2006-2007 Undergraduate Catalog Lindenwood’S “Proficient Graduates” Guarantee
    Lindenwood University • 2006-2007 Undergraduate Catalog Lindenwood’s “Proficient Graduates” Guarantee Success Lindenwood University has an excellent placement rate for its graduates because it educates the whole person. A degree from Lindenwood means that the holder is adept at reading, writing, speaking, and problem-solving – all the traits by which society judges one’s education level and general competence. That is why more than 98 percent of our students enter a professional job or graduate school within six months of completing their univer- sity degrees. We measure our success by the success of our graduates. We help our students acquire these traits through several means: Liberating Arts Education Our standard-setting General Education program assures that every Lindenwood graduate has been steeped in the essential knowledge amassed by humankind across the ages and has acquired the basic thinking and com- munication skills needed for both adapting to and shaping the world. Lindenwood’s broad-based curriculum in the arts and sciences produces free men and women – enlightened, self-determining, productive citizens of a democracy. Preparation for Life We encourage each student to build a Talent Transcript. This distinctive résumé documents not only the student’s academic preparation and career interests but also his or her leadership posts, real-world experience, work experience, and co-curricular achievements. It is through this investment in our students that we encour- age holistic development: growth in the cognitive, spiritual/ethical, physical, and social realms. Essentially this means that our graduates are educated, not just trained. The Guarantee We evaluate each student’s proficiency in written communication not only in the freshman composition courses but also following the completion of the second composition course, when a special writing-proficiency assess- ment is given.
