Topics of these workshops will include conflict resolution, negotiations, financial management, strategic planning, and how to say no, among other things.
- AdvanceVT 2008 Faculty Work-Life Survey FindingsVirginia Tech. Commission on Equal Opportunity and Diversity (Virginia Tech, 2009-05-04)AdvanceVT Overview:
- AdvanceVT began in 2003 with a five year grant from the National Science Foundation to increase the number and success of women faculty in the sciences and engineering
- Focus of AdvanceVT is institutional transformation
- Programs and policies designed to enable all faculty to achieve their potential
- Virginia Tech is one of 39 universities nationwide to receive grants - AdvanceVT Annual Workshop : Summary Report : 2004-2010AdvanceVT (Virginia Tech, 2010-11-23)Since 2004, AdvanceVT has hosted an annual workshop geared toward advancing diversity at Virginia Tech. Throughout the evolution of this initiative, feedback from the workshops has been overwhelmingly positive and the annual workshop has become a signature event for AdvanceVT. The speakers and breakout sessions inform participants about research and programs related to broadening participation in academic careers, provide examples of successful approaches to institutional change, and both energize and challenge attendees to examine their own biases and consider new ways to engage in diversity work.
The first annual workshop in 2004 focused on issues related to women in academic science and engineering careers and was held at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, VA. This event was organized soon after Virginia Tech received an NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant in September 2003, and served as an opportunity to educate the university community about the ADVANCE initiative and to begin discussing opportunities for change at Virginia Tech. In response to feedback from the 2004 workshop that indicated many participants would prefer events to be held in Blacksburg, the 2005 workshop was held on campus at the Donaldson Brown Hotel and Conference Center under the title of “Advancing Women at Virginia Tech.” In 2006, the annual workshop was moved to the new Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center, and the 2007 – 2010 workshops were also held at this facility. After the first few years of the AdvanceVT initiative, the focus of the annual workshops was expanded to address other underrepresented groups in academe in addition to women. By 2009, registration for the annual workshop had grown to approximately 300 participants. - AdvanceVT Leadership Development Programs : Final AssessmentAdvanceVT (Virginia Tech, 2010-11)Each academic year from 2004-05 through 2007-08, AdvanceVT offered faculty women opportunities to develop leadership skills and to enhance their visibility in the university. Among respondents to AdvanceVT’s 2005 Faculty Work-Life Survey, 47% of the tenured and tenure-track women indicated that they aspired to a leadership position beyond their current position compared with only 31% of the male respondents, and 77% of the women versus only 55% of men indicated an interest in opportunities to develop their leadership skills. However, only 29% of the women faculty and 48% of the men agreed that it is possible to hold a leadership position at Virginia Tech while balancing work and personal responsibilities, and even fewer (18% of women and 24% of men) believed that it is possible to maintain an active research program while in a leadership role. AdvanceVT’s leadership programs were designed to address women faculty members’ interest in leadership development as well as concerns about balancing demands of research and family with a leadership role.
