HBCUs arecredited with graduating 18% of all Black science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) baccalaureate students [7], in spite of making up only 3% of higher education'sinstitutions [6], having smaller operational budgets than most Historically White Institutions(HWIS) [5], and having markedly smaller enrollments [5].

equitable and inclusive academic environment.IntroductionBlack women faculty in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplinesface unique and persistent challenges in their journey to promotion and tenure within highereducation. While professional development is a critical tool for career advancement, systemicbarriers—including inequitable workloads, institutional bias, and the dual pressures ofunderrepresentation and overperformance—hinder access to tailored resources that can supporttheir growth. Among these resources, professional coaching has emerged as an impactfulstrategy for addressing career development needs, yet it remains underutilized andunderresearched for Black women in STEM academia.This theory paper provides an

itrequires no permanent staff, permanent physical space, or long-term programmatic plan. If aninstitution wishes to get ideas introduced to its faculty without putting together resources,planning local activities or exploring local experts, it can easily look to the national media andconferences in higher education to find the names of scholars who would likely be available forworkshops. Since these people are quite well known by major organizations, and have likelypublished in education literature, it is easy to assume that their message is unique; that it is basedon information that only they or a small set of experts have access to. This assumption is closelyrelated to other commonly held attitudes in engineering about where and in whom
