Intended outcomes are to: (1) provide career advisement for re-entry women, particularly minority women interested in physical science and engineering fields; (2) establish mentoring networks linking women scientist mentors with prospective re-entry women to facilitate enrollment of women, including minority women, into baccalaureate programs; (3) establish a network of small peer groups linking re-entry women by disciplinary interest and/or locale; (4) prepare and disseminate a book based on the workshop/conference and supporting information for re-entry women; (5) prepare and disseminate a videotape on the workshop/conference to motivate other prospective re-entry women; and (6) prepare and disseminate a quarterly newsletter to conference participants to motivate their ongoing preparation in peer study groups, and facilitate their enrollment into B.S. programs in the physical sciences, engineering, mathematics and computer science. ***
