ADVANCE Leadership Award: From associate to Full Professor with Distinguished Faculty Leading the Way

计算机研究协会建议通过创建副教授队列计划来解决女性正教授太少的问题。该项目旨在通过组建和指导一批副教授级别的女性，提高拥有计算机科学与工程学位的正教授级别的女性教师的比例。队列项目的基石将是15名资深女性的参与，她们被任命为CRA-W杰出教授，她们将作为榜样、导师和顾问积极参与。该项目将建立一个副教授社区，并为他们提供指导、领导力培训、鼓励和持续的同伴支持活动。该计划将包括一个初步的专业发展讲习班，一系列与技术会议/研讨会相结合的小型会议，以及正在进行的基于电子的支持活动。

The Computer Research Association proposes to address the problem of too few full professor women faculty by creating the Associate Professor Cohort Program. This program aims to increase the percentage of women faculty holding degrees in Computer Science and Engineering with the rank of full professor by forming and mentoring a cohort of women from the associate professor ranks. The cornerstone of the Cohort Project will be the involvement of 15 senior women, appointed as CRA-W Distinguished Professors, who will actively participate as role models, mentors, and advisers. The project will build a community of associate professors, and provide them with mentoring, leadership training, encouragement and ongoing peer-support activities. The program will include an initial Professional Development Workshop, a series of smaller meetings in conjunction with technical conferences/seminars, and ongoing electronically-based support activities.
