Broverman's WISER Praised in Chronicle Editorial

Broverman's WISER Praised in Chronicle Editorial

An editorial in the Duke Chronicle ("To ReEngage or DisEngage?", April 14, 2016) cited Sherryl Broverman's Women in Secondary Education and Research as an example of a successful DukeEngage program.  DukeEngage seeks to engage Duke undergraduates in the larger community through an immersive summer experience, aiming for a lasting effect on the participants' attitudes.  The Chronicle editors wrote, "The key component to WISER’s success, however, is its strong on-site and on-campus faculty mentorship. Because the program’s founder [Broverman] provides necessary expertise and guidance directly to students, the program attendees are more invested in the outcomes of their summers."  Bravo, Sherryl!
