ADVANCE Leadership Award

女性在工程学和科学界任职人数不足的问题十分严重，在工程学领域的资深女性尤其如此。为了解决这一代表不足的紧迫问题，并满足21世纪市场对技术劳动力的需求，提出了一个提供指导和领导力发展的计划。指导和领导方案的目的是维持和扩大锡拉丘兹大学现有的倡议，以促进提高工程和科学女教员的地位。一些现有的倡议是WISE的创意，国际和平与艺术与科学学院的院长共同指导，其他的是国际和平的梅雷迪思教授倡议的直接结果。拟议的管理和领导力计划将利用现有的倡议，并将引入反映当前领导力发展知识的新功能。高级领导奖还将使PI在制定和实施旨在提高锡拉丘兹大学女学生和教师地位的倡议时，保持积极的研究计划。该项目得到NSF高级计划的支持。高级方案的总体任务是通过增加妇女在学术、科学和工程职业中的代表性和地位，增加妇女在科学和工程工作中的参与度。

The problem of under-representation of women in engineering and sciences is critical.This is particularly true of senior women in engineering. To address this urgent problemof under-representation and to meet the marketplace demand for the technologicalworkforce in the 21 st century, a program is proposed that provides for mentoring andleadership development. The aim of the Mentoring and Leadership Program is to sustain and broaden the existinginitiatives at Syracuse University to promote the advancement of women faculty inengineering and sciences. Some of the existing initiatives are the brainchild of WISE,which the PI co-directs with the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and othersare the direct results of the PI's Meredith Professorship initiatives. The proposedMentoring and Leadership Program will capitalize on the existing initiatives and will introduce new features that reflect current knowledge of leadership development. The ADVANCE Leadership Award will also enable the PI to maintain an activeresearch program while she develops and implements initiatives aimed at theadvancement of women students and faculty at Syracuse University.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
