Abstract
We examined transferable skills gained by women and underrepresented minority (URM) individuals who were peer leaders in peer-led team learning programs. Compared to non-URM leaders, URM leaders experienced higher gains in leadership, collaboration, confidence, and problem-solving. These results have positive implications for diversity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses.
