Dr. Cynthia Blitz, Ph. D

Presented at The Big Ten Academic Alliance Summit Series on Advancing Undergraduate Women in STEM.

This presentation documented program offerings and best practices at the Big Ten Academic Alliance schools across the three themes of the Summit as found in the data from the completed surveys. This included the identification and analysis of barriers to and facilitators of broadening participation. Examining and disseminating these findings provided a road-map for the Big Ten Academic Alliance to evaluate strengths and weaknesses in program offerings and facilitate adoption of best institutional practices. The presentation was followed by a plenary talk and discussion on creating program goals and evaluation tools, which addressed the importance of skills necessary for goal setting and best practices for developing metrics for program evaluation.
