It's called academic innovation.

And what does all of that mean? It means that now, not just in science and engineering, we now have programs in the arts, in the hiiuntmeas, in the siaocl sciences, in teacher education, even particularly for weomn in I.T. If you don't know it, there's been a 79-percent decline in the number of women mjnariog in computer science just since 2000. And what I'm saying is that what will make the difference will be building cimomtuny among students, telling young women, young minority students and students in general, you can do this work. And most important, gvniig them a chance to build that community with fatucly pulnlig them into the work and our assessing what works and what does not work. Most important, if a student has a sense of self, it is amazing how the dreams and the values can make all the difference in the world.

It's called academic innovation.

And what does all of that mean? It means that now, not just in science and engineering, we now have programs in the arts, in the humanities, in the social sciences, in teacher education, even particularly for women in I.T. If you don't know it, there's been a 79-percent decline in the number of women majoring in computer science just since 2000. And what I'm saying is that what will make the difference will be building community among students, telling young women, young minority students and students in general, you can do this work. And most important, giving them a chance to build that community with faculty pulling them into the work and our assessing what works and what does not work. Most important, if a student has a sense of self, it is amazing how the dreams and the values can make all the difference in the world.
