Women's Solutions: Setting A National Agenda for the 21st Century
Description:
As part of a national dialogue sparked by the University of Minnesota, a discussion is held at Washington State University offering potential solutions for the challenges of female college students. Representatives from the University of Idaho and Washington State University campuses in Spokane, the Tri-Cities, Vancouver, Pullman main campus, and Pullman Intercollegiate Nursing center report on ideas generated at their sites. Topics identified as crucial for women include balancing work, life and school; mentorship; recruitment and retention; childcare; and creating a supportive campus climate. Before the discussion, Susan Armitage provides a historical overview of the female perspective at Washington State University, and how the school has addressed these issues.
