The speakers in this workshop were all so great. It is difficult to describe how inspiring it is for me when these great people... share their experience and wisdom of how they handle different problems in appropriate ways. It was also very encouraging to find out that so many people are having similar struggles and questions and there are so many supports out there.

This workshop is for graduate and postdoctoral women at MIT who are considering a tenure-track position in the fields of science, engineering, and technology. The one-and-a-half day workshop focuses on skills, strategies, and "insider information" necessary to obtain a tenure-track position, to succeed in one, and advance to other positions of leadership. This is also an opportunity to network and meet peers. See the October 2009 program and suggested reading resources.
Attendees will learn:
This workshop grew out of the 2005 Forward-to-Professorship workshop at MIT, which was organized by an NSF-funded team led by Catherine Mavriplis '89 (PhD, Aeronautics and Astronautics) in cooperation with the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education.
