The ADVANCEing Faculty Women in STEM Awards Banquet is held each spring to provide recognition for accomplishments of women faculty and their supporters on campus. Among the categories will be awards for outstanding research (publication, funding success, patents, graduate students) and outstanding teaching...

The purpose of this award is to sponsor research in any discipline by women faculty and research or service focused on gender equity by all faculty within the three ADVANCE departments.

The CU-ADVANCE Research Initiation Awards are offered under the auspices of the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program. The goal of the NSFADVANCE program is to increase the recruitment, retention, and promotion into leadership positions of women in engineering and the sciences, and to institutionalize best practices, policies and programs across colleges as they pertain to women faculty.

Winning proposals for the “You Choose Leadership Awards" were superb and ranged widely in their goals and scopes, from those with pivotal importance for individuals to those with potential to enhance entire communities. Each winner will speak about her award and experiences in our next UM-wide SEEDS event.

About Recruitment of Faculty at Lehigh University

The strongest predictor of success in recruiting women is the inclusion of women in search committees. The ADVANCE Center for Women faculty, in conjunction with the Dean of Faculties, is expanding existing gender bias training for all members of search committees, committees making decisions on tenure and promotion, and committees making decisions on university and college awards.

This activity is focused on highlighting the success of women STEM faculty. In collaboration with the Dean of Faculties office, the Women’s Faculty Network, the Women Engineering Faculty Interest Group, the Women Administrators Network, and the Vice President of Research, the ADVANCE Center for Women Faculty is organizing events to recognize and publicize the achievements of women faculty.

The underlying conceptual framework for the ADVANCE program is the American Psychological Association's Psychologically Healthy Workplace (PHW) initiative.
