Mount Mary University Jewel Scholars Program Receives 2024 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award
Mount Mary University was awarded the 2024 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from Insight Into Diversity magazine for its Jewel Scholars Program. Launched in 2017, the Jewel Scholars program provides pathways into science for women from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.
The publication is the largest and oldest diversity and inclusion publication in higher education. The Inspiring Programs in STEM Award honors colleges and universities that encourage and assist students from underrepresented groups to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Award winners were selected by the magazine based on efforts to inspire and encourage a new generation of young people to consider careers in STEM through mentoring, teaching, research and successful programs and initiatives.
“The Jewel Scholars program creates pathways and opportunities for the next generation of researchers and scientists,” shared program director Kathy Boyle, Ph.D. “I am so proud of the great work these students are doing.”
“We know that many STEM programs are not always recognized for their success, dedication, and mentorship for underrepresented students,” says Lenore Pearlstein, owner and publisher of Insight Into Diversity magazine. “We want to honor the schools and organizations that have created programs that inspire and encourage young people who may currently be in or are interested in a future career in STEM. We are proud to honor these programs as role models to other institutions of higher education and beyond.”
