Substantial progress was made in each of thethree groups resulting in specific recommendations and action items. One overarching recommendationwas again that there should be a third such workshop to address some of these specifics, and todisseminate progress that has been made in

A preparation meeting between the faculty member and company executive who would be co-leading the webinar was also a useful way for the two to align their plans, better understand their respective roles, and for the faculty member to be further educated about some of the specific challenges facing the company.

The plan is tocontinue to offer social activities at least once or twice per semester going forward.4. AssessmentProgram SuccessThe peer mentor program is in the first year of implementation.

ConclusionsBased on the survey data we have concluded that the Industrial Distribution climate is overallpositive for both male and female participants. This is based on the fact that the majority ofrespondents reported satisfaction and did not report instances of gender stereotyping, internaldiscrimination, or internal harassment.Despite this positive climate however, the research has shown evidence that a glass ceiling ispresent for women in the industry. Additionally, men are less likely to acknowledge theexistence of this glass ceiling indicating that firms could benefit from succession planning,training, and consideration for women in the industry

ACoP is an organizational structure that effectively spreads knowledge, decreases the learningcurve for novices, minimizes reenactments of failures, and promotes creativity11,12.The MatSE CoP is composed of one tenured and five tenure-track faculty who meet on a weeklybasis to discuss course administration, data collection, and future plans.

Because the concept of attitude is broad, its assessment requires a carefully researchedand planned survey which is why the ASCI survey was used. This survey has been vetted forreliability and validity, 11, 12.The two subscales measured by the modified ASCI are intellectual accessibility and emotionalsatisfaction. These broad subscales are necessary to capture many of the mental constructsrelated to attitude. As described by Bauer 12, 13, many behavioral aspects need to be addressed tounderstand the effect of ‘attitude.’ The survey is based on a seven
