Managing the Academic Career for Faculty Women at Undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering Institutions

CRA-W held a career/mentoring workshop to provide faculty members and graduate students at all levels of undergraduate education critical information and tools to build successful academic careers. This daylong workshop featured presentations and panel sessions with formal and informal group activities. Workshop sessions provided important information to women in undergraduate teaching and research who face particular challenges in pursuing and maintaining academic careers at primarily undergraduate academic institutions. They concentrated on providing mentoring advice by experienced women professors, as well as providing sufficient time for audience participation and dialog. Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, CRA-W offered limited funding for registration, travel and hotel accommodation to participants who needed assistance to attend.
