The facts
● Women earn half of all of the STEM Bachelor’s degrees, but represent only 24% of the
professionals in all STEM fields
● Greater disparity among women of color: only 11% of Bachelor’s degrees in STEM -
NSF 2015, 2016
● Nearly half of US female scientists leave full-time science after first child – Nature,
February 19, 2019
● “I'd say that many women I have seen want to be able to see themselves advancing but
looking at the top it's very hard to picture themselves there because they don't see a
good role model.” Sivan Aldor-Noiman, Director of Data Science for the Data

Summit Data
Summit for Women in STEM: Testimonials
The Summit was one of the most engaging event I have ever been to. It was inspirational, encouraging,
and absolutely amazing. It was wonderful being surrounded with successful and incredible women who
were not afraid to share about their failures and what they did to overcome them. The summit left me
feeling like I was capable of achieving so much more! Claudine Humure, Wheaton, ‘17
The Women in STEM summit was amazing. I gained confidence, which I lacked. I thought I needed to be
perfect, a geek or a nerd to be in STEM. I realized, that it is all part of the stereotypical society and
modern generation. The panel of women were amazing... I would attend over and over again as long as
I'm available. Gloria Effah, Quinsigamond Comm College
The Summit for Women in STEM was incredibly empowering. By seeing and hearing from successful
women in the STEM fields, I can now better visualize myself reaching my own career goals. Anna French,
Wheaton College, ’18

  • 16. Summit for Women in STEM: Testimonials The Summit was one of the most engaging event I have ever been to. It was inspirational, encouraging, and absolutely amazing. It was wonderful being surrounded with successful and incredible women who were not afraid to share about their failures and what they did to overcome them. The summit left me feeling like I was capable of achieving so much more! Claudine Humure, Wheaton, ‘17 The Women in STEM summit was amazing. I gained confidence, which I lacked. I thought I needed to be perfect, a geek or a nerd to be in STEM. I realized, that it is all part of the stereotypical society and modern generation. The panel of women were amazing... I would attend over and over again as long as I'm available. Gloria Effah, Quinsigamond Comm College The Summit for Women in STEM was incredibly empowering. By seeing and hearing from successful women in the STEM fields, I can now better visualize myself reaching my own career goals. Anna French, Wheaton College, ’18
