considering academic careers in science, technology, engineering and 
math with insights, tools, strategies and insider information that will 
help them to be successful in their job search and on the tenure track. /
/Over the course of the workshop, participants will hear from more than 
20 extraordinary women faculty from diverse institutions, and they will 
have an opportunity to network with approximately 70 women with similar 
aspirations. /
