ADVANCE Leadership Award

妇女在工程和科学领域代表性不足的问题十分严重，在工程领域的高级妇女中尤其如此。为了解决代表性不足的紧迫问题，并满足世纪市场对技术劳动力的需求，提出了一个计划，提供指导和领导力发展。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，以促进妇女教师在工程和科学方面的进步。一些现有的举措是智慧的心血结晶，其中PI与艺术和科学学院院长共同指导，和othersare PI的梅雷迪思教授倡议的直接结果。拟议的指导和领导力计划将利用现有的举措，并将引入新的功能，反映当前的领导力发展的知识。先进领导奖还将使PI保持积极的研究计划，同时她开发和实施旨在提高锡拉丘兹大学女学生和女教师地位的倡议。高级方案的总体使命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劳动力中的参与。

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.
