Her targeted campaigns raise the perceived stature of the organization and lead to successful institutional fundraising. After graduating from Williams College with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and French, Thuy earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Hawaii. In her early career, she was a research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and held management positions in several engineering firms, including CH2M HILL, Lockheed Martin, and Los Alamos Technical Associates.

Across her research, Dr. Vican explores how organizational policies and practices, managerial behavior, and workplace culture shape individual career outcomes as well as broader patterns of labor market inequality. Her current research includes a qualitative study of corporate diversity management strategies and a series of mixed-methods projects on diversity in the academic workforce. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Using Data to Drive Institutional Change: University of Delaware ADVANCE Institute Research on Faculty Women of Color Shawna Vican, University of

Although strides have been made at the undergraduate level,diversity in faculty and academic administration positions still lags. This paper will present ourapproach and preliminary results of a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsoredcollaborative project to broaden the participation of underrepresented engineering minorities inengineering academia by providing participants with an improved skill set for entry into a facultyposition. This project, comprised of a two-week intensive summer professional preparationtraining in conjunction
