WomenLEAD: Leadership Development for Female Faculty in Business and Engineering
Keywords:
Women faculty, leadership development, mentoringAbstract
In the fall of 2009, three women faculty members in the Bagley College of Engineering and the College of Business at Mississippi State University initiated a leadership development program for female faculty members in those colleges. This paper provides a summary of the first two years of that program. In this paper we describe the motivation for establishing this program, the environment in which the program was conducted, and the discussion topics for the sessions that were held. We also provide feedback from the participants who responded to a survey about the program. We conclude with some general observations about the program and plans for its continuation.
