Regularly scheduled events address topics requested by women faculty, particularly the assistant professors. Programs may involve guest scientific speakers, panels or skill development workshop and are open to all who are interested. Past programs have included strategies for time management, graceful self promotion, and being a productive writer. Social gatherings provide an opportunity for networking and sharing research endeavors and ideas. Female graduate students are invited to one program annually. In addition, select programs are also coordinated with the UMD Swenson College of Science and Engineering Women’s Mentoring Program.
Program planning is done by the Steering Committee: Lois Heller, Ph.D., Department of Physiology and Pharmacology; Barbara Elliott, Ph.D,, Department of Family Medicine; and Jean Regal, Ph.D.
