First the authors provide a brief overview of theliterature addressing women in academic leadership. Next descriptions of the university,ADVANCE program and leadership development initiative are summarized. Then universitystatistics and women faculty members’ own words are used to depict the transformation from aninstitution with few women

result of all of these demands on faculty time, it is difficultto get faculty to participate in extra programs, such as mentoring.In the fall of 2006, Cal Poly Pomona was awarded an NSF ADVANCE InstitutionalTransformation grant to increase the representation and advancement of women faculty in thescience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Activities at this institutionare organized around four key areas: 1) Institutional Development/Sustainability, 2) Recruitment,3) Career Development, and 4) Leadership Development.Women make up 25% of the tenure/tenure-track faculty in the science, technology, engineeringand mathematics (STEM) disciplines at Cal Poly Pomona, with some departments still havingnone or only one female faculty

Few universities require formal training and even fewer have training thatfocuses on broadening the applicant pool and combating unintended bias. However, recently, anumber of universities (many of them NSF ADVANCE institutions) have developed resourcesand implemented training for search committees.12Still, more often than not, when faculty search committees are named, a chair is appointed andthe process begins with little or no preparation on the part of committee members for the task.Additionally, most often the task of serving on a search committee is assigned as an overloadwithout relief from other

” for women in higher education was first developed in general highereducation literature.3 The concept of a chilly climate is especially relevant for groups with lowfemale representation, such as STEM fields. In a study on women at 4-year institutions, Whittfound that 43% of female students disagree or strongly disagree with the statement, “I havenever observed discriminatory words, behaviors, or gestures directed towards femalestudents.”6 While not all studies report women perceiving gender-based discrimination oncollege campuses, the literature supporting the chilly climate hypothesis is considerably moreconclusive.3 It has been found that male students and faculty exacerbate discriminatoryexperiences for women, through much subtle and some

This work is part of a larger NSFADVANCE grant looking at the overall success of said faculty. In that project, national data willbe used to develop a success measure, and faculty will be interviewed to assess the quality of themeasure and to identify factors to success not captured by national surveys like NSOPF.A crucial part of that research is building a success

However, before a reformcurriculum can be developed and taught, there must be a reform-ready faculty to develop andteach the curriculum. These faculty must reflect the interdisciplinary needs of the workplace inthe classroom and model workplace practices.

A general assumption exists that most postsecondary educators have not been affordeddevelopment as pedagogues prior to assuming their roles as postsecondary educators.

Once the competencies are chosen a learningexperience is designed where students have the opportunity to learn and develop the identifiedcompetencies. This often builds on existing courses and programs that have the potential toexpand into using GV teams. To maximize the success of the GV team experience threestakeholders – the institutions, the faculty and the students – need to identify and understandtheir roles and responsibilities. Doing so will create a strong atmosphere for GV teams to thriveand succeed. The rest of the paper describes these
