  abstract =     "The female role models presented to young women are
                 often unusual individuals who have overcome tremendous
                 social and political obstacles to pursue outstanding
                 careers in mathematics and science. We believe that
                 young women presented with these exceptional role
                 models may actually have their self-confidence
                 undermined because they cannot readily identify with
                 them. At the University of Wisconsin-Parkside
                 (UW-Parkside), we are implementing a project that will
                 employ our own upper-level female computer science (CS)
                 students as half of our laboratory staff in a CS
                 laboratory that is maintained and administrated by our
                 CS students. In this laboratory, women will be as much
                 in control as much as their male counterparts. This
                 non-threatening environment, where women play a
                 prominent role, will communicate to our beginning
                 female students that these roles are realistic and
                 obtainable by them in their college life and in the
                 workplace. We plan to offer our introductory CS
                 sequence to area high school students so that high
                 school girls can benefit from this same experience.",
