FORWARD in SEM (Focus on Reaching Women for Academics, Research and Development in Science, Engineering and Mathematics) is a joint program of the George Washington and Gallaudet Universities funded by a National Science Foundation ADVANCE leadership award. This workshop is provided for women and minorities who may be considering, or are currently in, a tenure-track position in science, engineering or mathematics. The 2 1/2-day workshop will focus on skills, strategies and "insider information" necessary to obtain a tenure-track position, to succeed in one and advance to other positions of leadership. This is also an opportunity to network and meet peers. There is no cost to attend this workshop.
Attendees will learn to:
* Make effective use of their time to tenure * Navigate the tenure-track process * Apply and negotiate for a position * Secure research funding * Avoid service over commitment * Get the most out of teaching
