Mentoring Network has grown and a variety of academic andpersonal schedules become harder to accommodate. This is one reason for limiting the target sizeof an annual cohort.The orientation typically takes place at a location central to the original ADVANCE institutionsand runs from approximately 9 am to 3 pm on a Saturday in August. The event is facilitatedjointly by members of the Executive Committee and includes structured events as well asbreakfast and lunch during which women are encouraged to mingle with the larger network.The structured events include: 1) a brief session introducing the literature on the benefits of mentoring; 2) a quick review of the requirements of the program, culminating with a signing of the Memorandum of

learning practice are presented and discussed,and transformative outcomes that can be linked to seminar participation presented.IntroductionWomen have historically been underrepresented within the ranks of tenured or tenure-trackfaculty with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines [1]. This isespecially so at higher academic ranks. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recognizedthis issue and has been funding Institutional Transformation (IT) projects geared towardsremedying this shortcoming. In fall 2014 Oregon State University (OSU) received such anaward, created OREGON STATE ADVANCE, and established its overarching goal to serve as acatalyst for advancing the study and practice of equity, inclusion, and social

Each session provided time for informalnetworking as well as addressed a relevant topic – such as planning for the summer,connecting with upper-level administrators (including the Provost and ChiefInformation Officer), and working on grant proposals.Workshops were generally hosted for STEM non-tenured faculty, however selectsessions were for mid-level career faculty from all departments or for departmentchairs. These workshops focused on planning for promotion (associate to fullprofessor) and goal setting.In addition to career-related workshops, WISE@OU addressed bias-related concernsthrough

While the conference committee took aleadership role in developing conference themes, the core UD ADVANCE team largely did theconference planning and administration. This required nearly full-time efforts on the part of theUD ADVANCE Director and Administrative Assistant over the course of the semester. WhileUD administrators offered generous financial support for the conference and attended several ofthe keynote addresses, they were largely absent from other conference session such as paneldiscussions on lived experiences of faculty women of color. Having UD administratorsparticipate in these types of sessions would have been

We also directly confront the difficulty a search committee faces in reachingconsensus about what constitutes excellence in research, teaching, and inclusion. A significantportion of this conversation is also devoted to modeling how to create metrics to assess theinclusive excellence statement, which is a new application requirement for most of our searches.We offer the following general guidelines, which can be tailored to the needs of departments: 1)an awareness of challenges underrepresented groups face in higher education and theirconsequences; and 2) a track record or a plan

Through interviewswith departing faculty, as well as faculty negotiating retention packages, we clarify additionalfactors affecting faculty of color retention. In this paper, we (1) discuss main findings about theclimate for faculty of color on our campus, (2) describe how social science research, institutionaldata, and evaluation inform our programmatic work, and (3) highlight how the strategic use ofdata allows us to better engage campus stakeholders in institutional change efforts in support offaculty diversity.IntroductionThe underrepresentation of faculty women of color in academia remains a national
