Dream on! Supporting and Graduating African American Girls and Women in STEM tells the life stories of African American women who originally pursued degrees in pre-medicine and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors in high school and college.
In Dream On! Dr. McPherson draws upon the personal stories of 16 undergraduate African American women who had aspirations of pursuing undergraduate degrees that led to careers in medicine, health professions, engineering, or mathematical fields. The book begins by telling their success stories and love for math and science in K-12 settings. It then discusses their stories of trials, triumphs, and even some tragedies when pursuing their undergraduate degrees at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). Despite enduring challenges in their majors, all 16 of resilient African American women completed undergraduate degrees in health science, social science, and/or STEM majors. A discussion on how they built a sense of community, that is a sense of belonging in their majors is described as well.
Careers that these women pursued were medical doctors, scientists, mathematicians, engineer, business professional, and human resources professionals.
The book is a must read for girls, women, and minority women, and minorities who want to pursue medical degrees or STEM fields at predominantly white institutions, families, educators, administrators, and policymakers.

Historical and contemporary perspectives on the role of support networks in creating community and contributing to Black students' success in different postsecondary settings.Black Student Support Networks shows how Black undergraduate and graduate students use formal and informal support networks to create community at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Contributors use a range of qualitative research methods, including autoethnography, personal narratives, and case studies, and theoretical frameworks, such as critical race theory and college choice, to illuminate the challenges and successes Black students encounter in their educational journeys. They advocate for culturally relevant pedagogy, emphasizing the importance of mentoring, faculty-student relationships, peer networks, spirituality, and programming in fully supporting Black students and fostering their safety, sense of belonging, and mental well-being. With a foreword by Ivory A. Toldson and afterword by Melanie Carter, the volume is essential reading for students, faculty, administrators, researchers, and policymakers dedicated to promoting the retention and graduation of Black students, especially in the post-Affirmative Action era. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026
