Advancing Women in STEM through Institutional Transformation at Adams State University

亚当斯州立大学（ASU）将实施ADVANCE机构转型催化剂（IT催化剂）项目，以开展机构自我评估活动并调整ADVANCE最佳实践。 在项目的第一年，ASU将收集机构数据，包括工资调查和招聘池分析，以及工作量评估，还将进行教师调查和焦点小组。 在第二年，该团队将访问ADVANCE IT机构，了解最佳实践，与主要利益相关者（教师/主席/管理员）举行会议，讨论数据和最佳实践。 在第三年，该大学将努力实施变革，并将其纳入大学战略计划的下一个迭代ASU提供了一个独特的背景下，在其中检查STEM学科的女教师的招聘，保留和晋升。 亚利桑那州立大学是一个小的，主要是本科，公共，西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）在农村中南部科罗拉多。 校园一直面临着招募和留住女性的挑战，女性占STEM教师的27%。 亚利桑那州立大学已经表现出对变革的准备;所有利益相关者团体都传达了他们对该项目的承诺，校园已经围绕“包容性卓越”的主题组织了广泛的规划和政策。" ADVANCE将建立在这一坚实的基础上，该计划可以作为小型农村HSIs的典范。ADVANCE计划的重点是开发系统性的方法，以增加女性在学术STEM职业中的参与，保留和提升。 IT-Catalyst跟踪基金项目旨在进行机构自我评估和实施ADVANCE战略，这些战略已被证明可以有效地解决STEM教师的性别问题。

Adams State University (ASU) will implement an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation-Catalyst (IT-Catalyst) project to undertake institutional self-assessment activities and adapt ADVANCE best practices. During year one of the project, ASU will collect institutional data, including a salary survey and recruitment pool analysis, and workload assessment, and will also conduct faculty surveys and focus groups. During year two, the team will visit ADVANCE IT institutions to learn about best practices, hold meetings with key stakeholders (faculty/chairs/administrators) to discuss data and best practices. During year three, the university will work to implement changes and incorporate them into the next iteration of the university's strategic planASU provides a unique context in which to examine the recruitment, retention and promotion of women faculty in STEM disciplines. ASU is a small, primarily undergraduate, public, Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) in rural south-central Colorado. The campus has been challenged to recruit and retain women, who account for 27 percent of STEM faculty. ASU has demonstrated readiness for change; all stakeholder groups have communicated their commitment to the project, and the campus already has extensive programming and policy organized around the theme of "inclusive excellence." ADVANCE will build on this strong foundation, and the program could serve as a model for small, rural HSIs. The ADVANCE program is focused on developing systemic approaches to increase the participation, retention, and advancement of women in academic STEM careers. The IT-Catalyst track funds projects that aim to conduct institutional self-assessments and implement ADVANCE strategies that have been shown to be effective to address gendered issues for STEM faculty.
