[Faculty] Fwd: next steps for Women in STEM

Sat Sep 28 15:30:02 PDT 2019

Dear Karen,
My understanding is that your email is referring to two different items. Let me clarify, to the best of my abilities the first one, since I was the one who asked Arlene to forward the email to all faculty. 

 “The email below is confusing, could you please clarify if the events are for women in engineering or for all faculty? “

The email that came originally from Dr. Rebecca Lewison, was intended for any engineering faculty/graduate student who would be interested in learning more about the esteemed guest Dr. Leah Jamieson. Dr. Lewison is seeking active participation from especially the College of Sciences and the College of Engineering to make the most of Dr. Jamieson’s visit to our campus by showcasing our research work, our students, our vision for our institution and above all our enthusiasm in facilitating visits of such high profile guests to our campus that will enable the university to continue this trend and thereby put ourselves out there in an even brighter way. 
Having said that, women faculty are especially encouraged to attend and participate. In fact I was going to reach out to all my female engineering colleagues early next week about the same. 

Hope I have cleared your confusion. Will be happy to provide further clarification if you might need any. 

All my best 
Sweta

I am also interested in seeing the following items that are part of our ASEE Award for Diversity - could you please share the application with the faculty? I haven't seen any of this information and thought it would be of interest to me and others.

The plan must address diversity, equity and inclusion explicitly and individually and must indicate that the College has:

> at least one program or initiative from the list of Proven Practices which are included on the resources page of this website.
> at least one K-12 or community college pipeline activity
> A set of appropriate metrics and goals regarding demographics of faculty, staff and students, climate survey results, graduation outcomes, faculty outcomes, or the like
> The College has an implementation timeline for its DEI plan
> The College is engaged in measuring the outcomes of the plan implementation
> The Exemplary designation status was created during the inaugural phase of the program as a way to indicate that the reviewers feel the institution is exceptional either in the coherency of the plan, in the originality or fidelity of the implementation, or in the outcomes achieved. “Exemplary” means that the institution can serve as a role model to others. It does not indicate the institution will or should be considered Silver or Gold in the next phase of implementation.

>> 
>> Questions we need your help to answer to finalize the schedule and make sure we are meeting the needs of your colleagues:
>> 
>> 1) Are there graduate students who would want to present their research to Leah during a lightning talk/lunch event from 1130-1pm on 10/28?
>> 
>> 2) Are there graduate students who would want facetime with Leah as a group (2-3pm on 10/28)
>> 
>> 3) Can the women engineer faculty (and anyone else you want to invite) meet with Dr. Jamieson at 330pm on 10/28. If not, please propose another time
>> 
>> 4) What engineering faculty do you want to suggest meet 1 on 1 with Dr. Jamieson at 930, 10 and 1030 on 10/29. If those times don't work, please propose other times 
>> 
>> Let me know if you have any questions about my questions!
