  • ABSTRACT NIX, ANISHA MAHESH. Investigating
    ABSTRACT NIX, ANISHA MAHESH. Investigating the Links Among Stereotypes, Self-Image, and Career Commitment to the Sciences. (Under the direction of Mary B. Wyer). Women have historically been underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. One reason for this continued underrepresentation might be existing stereotypes of STEM fields, as well as the lack of historical role models within these fields. A longitudinal analysis conducted over a one- semester period in an introductory Chemistry course was conducted to explore the effects of a curriculum intervention that introduced the contributions of women to chemistry on students’ stereotypes about STEM fields, self perceptions, and their commitment to STEM fields. Results indicate that stereotypes about scientists in this sample include masculine, feminine, and neutral characteristics and that there was some change in stereotypes after the intervention. Furthermore, women in the sample had higher career commitment to the sciences than men and women who were STEM majors had a better fit between stereotypes and self perceptions than did women who were not STEM majors.

  • The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005
    The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005 On the cover: Architectural plan for realization of the campus design envisioned by Brooklyn College’s founding architect, Randolph Evans, in 1935. The plan proposes new entrances to Roosevelt and James Halls, a new West Quad to mirror the existing East Quad, and a new building to anchor the entire campus west of Bedford Avenue. The West Quad Project is one of several ambitious plans the College has launched to build a modern, student-centered campus conducive to learning and scholarship. Dear Friends of Brooklyn College At Brooklyn College in the last year, we have been busy building— not only the physical campus, but also the educational environment that best encourages vigorous learning and scholarship. Our priorities result largely from initiatives we launched during the first five years of my presidency—and particularly within the last twelve months. These include expanding the campus, renewing the natural sciences, and broadening our fiscal base. The physical transformation of the campus continues apace. We have doubled the size of the Morton and Angela Topfer Library Café, and it is open again 24/7. Over the summer, we renovated and modernized eleven lecture halls in Ingersoll Hall. We move ahead with the West Quad Project, laying out a new quadrangle and pouring the foundation for a new building. We have begun a major rebuilding of our science facilities and our science curriculum. The project will proceed in two stages. First, Roosevelt Hall will be transformed into a science building; then we will renovate Ingersoll Hall. The science faculty meanwhile has been discussing and defining the shape science teaching and research should take at the College.
