In this study, we examinedwhether this financial incentive of a student loan repayment awarded upon graduation influencedundergraduate women’s retention and academic achievement in engineering.MethodPotential participants in the study were selected based on the following criteria: (a) must be afemale, (b) must be in good standing in an engineering major, and (c) must have subsidizedstudent loans. Forty sophomore women engineering students, who met the criteria, were initiallyselected for the study in January 2007. The sample was stratified by first generation status andethnicity, which made up

Wisconsin-Madison designed and implemented training for chairs of facultyhiring committees. Training began in 2004 and continues to the present. The workshopsare implemented using a variety of formats, but the common elements that make themsuccessful include: • Peer Teaching: Incorporating faculty from the unit to deliver short presentations and serve as discussion facilitators; • Active Learning: Most time is spent in discussion and a sharing of practices from different departments; presentation is kept to a minimum; • Unconscious Biases & Assumptions: Participants are introduced to the social psychological literature on unconscious biases and assumptions, and learn how these tendencies might impact the hiring process

Faculty are often so busy putting outshort-term professional fires that they lack time or energy for long term activities, strategicplanning, advanced goal setting or reflection. Sometimes along the way faculty start to feelburned out and need a change to help them regain their enthusiasm for their chosen career.A sabbatical provides an excellent opportunity for a faculty member to re-evaluate theirprofessional and personal goals around their career.
