Attracting and Nurturing Women Faculty at a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI)

德克萨斯大学泛美分校是一所为西班牙裔服务的机构，致力于提高女性在STEM领域的代表性和成功，特别是对拉丁裔。通过实施植根于美国心理协会的综合方法，促进了这一承诺。该项目由负责学院事务的副教务长办公室、对教师的持续支持、一项自我评估研究、一项可持续性计划，以及建立一个由教师和管理人员组成的广泛联盟，以确保在UTPA成功实施和制度化NSF ADVANCE项目。具体而言，ADVANCE项目涉及：教师招聘和晋升、政策和气候、教育和赋权以及社会科学研究，旨在扩大和深化与阻碍女性（特别是拉丁裔）在STEM领域取得成功的问题相关的知识库。因此，UT泛美ADVANCE项目有可能为更深入、更包容地理解STEM学科中的性别平等做出重大贡献，同时系统地解决拉丁裔在美国STEM劳动力中代表性不足的问题。

The University of Texas-Pan American is a Hispanic serving institution, committed to increasing the representation and success of women in STEM fields across faculty and leadership ranks, particularly for Latinas. This commitment is facilitated through the implementation of an integrated approach that is rooted in the American Psychological Association?s Psychologically Healthy Workplace Practices (HWP) and supported by an Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, ongoing support for faculty, a self-assessment study, a sustainability plan, and the establishment of a broad coalition of faculty and administrators who ensure the successful implementation and institutionalization of the NSF ADVANCE project at UTPA. Specifically, this ADVANCE project addresses: faculty recruitment and advancement, policy and climate, education and empowerment and social science research that is intended to broaden and deepen the knowledge base related to issues that hinder the success of women, particularly Latinas, in STEM fields. As such, the UT Pan American ADVANCE program has the potential to seminally contribute to a deeper and more inclusive understanding of gender equity in the STEM disciplines, while systematically addressing the underrepresentation of Latina in the US STEM workforce.
