College mentors key to prospective female STEM major

This insightful article from US News and World Report describes successful programs in which female college students in STEM majors act as role models to high school girls. As Duke University student Christine Schindler said, "When I've been talking to girls who are in high school about what I'm doing, I don't pretend to know exactly what I'm going to do with my life, but I can tell them about the classes I'm taking [and] the opportunities I have already as an engineering student. The college student portion of it is crucial -- that's who the girls are going to look up to; that's the next step they're going to take."
