Unusual for its time, the study did not indulge in “victim blaming” and instead pointed us toward strategies that went beyond “fixing the students” as a way to diversify the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medical) community. We were motivated to join the overall undergraduate STEM education reform movement by the publication of Talking about Leaving: Why Undergraduates Leave the Sciences. This study opened the eyes and minds of many who were wondering about the exodus of studen
