AB  - Mentoring Women Faculty in STEM – a Multi-Pronged ApproachUniversity X established a mentoring program for women faculty in STEM departments three years agoin an effort to improve retention, as well as provide professional development and leadership training.Officially managed out of the dean’s office, the program includes a formal mentoring program whichpairs women with senior mentors outside their department. Following best mentoring practices assuggested by research, the program has included initial training of both mentors and mentees, monthlye-newsletters and listserv notices, formal recognition of outstanding mentors, as well as externalassessment, all of which have contributed to the program’s success. Opening the formal mentoringaspect to all tenure-track faculty has assisted in garnering widespread support for the program and infirmly institutionalizing it. Monthly lunches for women faculty at the campus faculty club (supported bythe dean’s office) have provided additional opportunities for professional development and leadershiptraining, as well as coverage of topics such as lab management, worklife balance, and gender issues forwomen in STEM. Moreover, the networking opportunities afforded by the monthly lunches havecontributed to a stronger sense of confidence and encouraged peer mentoring among women facultywho participate. The initial target group has expanded to include collaborators in other disciplines,faculty whose research focuses on gender and STEM, as well as colleagues from areas such asentrepreneurship and social science who face many of the same issues as women faculty in STEM.Lastly, hosting well-known external speakers for small, on-campus workshops focused on topics such asleadership, negotiation, climate, and diversity, has further elevated the status of both the program andof participation in the program, as well as delivered outstanding professional development training.This paper will review the program, including feedback from external assessment, and makerecommendations on aspects of the program that are transportable to other campuses.
