Success & Impact
Since 2009, the John P. and Anne Welsh McNulty Foundation and Saint Joseph’s University have partnered together to tackle the important issue of increasing the number of women in STEM, while simultaneously bolstering the representation of women in leadership positions within the field.
In the 13 years since the John P. McNulty Program for Leadership in Science and Mathematics was formed, 111 women have had their lives transformed by the opportunity and experience that the program offers. Now, thanks to a further $2.6 million investment on behalf of the McNulty Foundation, the program will scale the offerings to reach even more women over the next seven years, while focusing more deeply on preparing and nurturing women’s leadership in STEM.
The impact of this investment will be far-reaching and immediate. Three recent McNulty scholars are already reaping the rewards of their time in the program. They shared their experience in the program, what it means to them to increase the representation of women in STEM, and advice for young women with aspirations in the field.
