In response to a student request for more representation of Women and People of Color in the sciences, we propose to use some of the available surfaces in the PSC to show visual images of under-represented people who have had an impact on the sciences along with enough text to explain who they are. Students would be asked to help create the visual displays.
ideas include: column wraps, 11×17 posters, others?

Also this: “Findings support the hypotheses that exposing undergraduate women interested in medicine to information about successful female physicians (role models) sets in motion a positive process involving the mechanisms of perceived identity compatibility and sense of belonging, leading to increases in or sustainment of women’s interest in medicine, despite continued gender-specific challenges.”
