Women Mentoring Women

The Women Mentoring Women initiative will assist women faculty by facilitating a strong and engendered mentoring network within as well as outside the college. A series of workshops, round table discussions and speaker presentations are being develop to help junior faculty navigate the promotion and tenure process, and to assist women faculty at the associate professor level to better understand the promotion process to full professor. Topics will include dossier preparation, constructing the candidate statement, presentation, and testimonial success stores. In conjunction with this initiative a mentoring handbook will be developed and posted to the web for all junior faculty. The WMW initiative began in December 2003 and will continue throughout the next five years.
