at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, Indiana- Publication Title: Leadership Development Interventions to Reduce Imposter Phenomenon in the STEM Fields in Minorities
- Summary: There is a significant lack of diversity in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM)fields. Evidence shows that lack of representation can feed into feelings of imposter phenomenon which in turn influences leadership qualities. An argument is made that by providing leadership development training to minorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, confidence will be boosted, feelings of imposter phenomenon will be reduced, and thus these students will be retained.
