Choosing a STEM Major, Part 2: Barriers to Completing STEM degrees for Women and Minority Students
In 2016, Artemis Connection launched Project Ascendance, a study on the racial and gender divide in STEM fields. An initiative of our 4.5% Giving Back Promise, Project Ascendance seeks to build a body of research and create actionable plans for women and minorities to advance their careers in STEM. This blog series shares preliminary findings from our research, based on individual interviews, literature review, and analyses.
365 Days of 4.5%: What We’ve Learned So Far
A year ago, we launched the 4.5% Promise, Artemis Connection’s commitment to giving back via our time and our resources. Our intentional philanthropic approach devotes 4.5% of Artemis staff time to changing lives, communities, and organizations, leverage learnings from our learning lab, people, and resources to make it all happen. We launched this initiative because we believe it is the responsibility of every one of us to make the world a better place, and that that responsibility extends to companies and corporations of all sizes, ours included.

What My Preemies Taught Me About Work-Life Integration
I love to work.
I have always loved to work. My mom has these pictures of me “playing office” when I was four years old.

Geographic Flexibility: Recruit & Retain Top Talent with Flexible Work
Flexible work means different things to different employees, and it also means different things to different countries. Some countries, like France and Norway, offer flexible hours or reduced workweeks; others, especially those in Asia and Latin America, emphasize work-from-home options and geographic flexibility; and still others, like Germany and Italy, provide job-sharing programs.
