If you are interested in enhancing your leadership skills, consider reaching out to ADVANCE and the Office of the Provost to make an application to the summer HERS Institute. Since 1976, over 5,000 women in faculty, staff, and administrative roles in higher education have further developed their leadership ability by attending the HERS Institute. The application process is currently open and early bird deadline is November 17, 2017. This summer, there is also a special scholarship for STEM women, the CBL-STEM Scholarship. Let us know if you are interested! More information is available: https://hersnet.org/institutes/what-are-the-institutes/.
Research suggests women may be drawn more to collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Lehigh ADVANCE will shed light on to what extent and how interdisciplinary work is gendered, not only in terms of participation but in terms of outcomes.
