Purdue University is pleased to announce our inaugural Conference for Pre-Tenure Women. This conference is designed to enhance the success of female faculty. The Purdue Conference is targeted to appeal to post-doctoral and pre-tenure women. There will be specific breakout sessions focused on underrepresented women in STEM, however most of the sessions are designed to appeal to women from all disciplines. The overall conference goal is to provide educational opportunities to help women identify strategies to enhance their success for promotion and tenure.<BR>

The conference will be held on the Purdue campus, September 23 & 24, 2010.
