Abstract
Utah Women and Education Project researchers conducted in-depth research in 2010 to discover why more young women around the state are not attending and graduating from college. We discovered that mothers in Utah influence their daughters’ college choices and behaviors significantly when it comes to decisions about whether to attend college and persist until graduation.
