- AC 2011-851: Impact of an NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant at a STEM-Dominant UniversityHall, Molly R.; Layne, Margaret E. (American Society For Engineering Education, 2011)The National Science Foundation’s ADVANCE program was established to increase the representation and advancement of women in academic science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. Virginia Tech has used its ADVANCE funding to take a comprehensive approach to institutional transformation, incorporating activities to increase the pipeline of women preparing for academic science and engineering careers, improve recruitment and retention of women, develop women leaders, update work-life policies, and warm department climate. Prior to the conclusion of the grant, the university reviewed all activities for impact and potential sustainability. Assessment activities included tracking numbers of women at various levels across the university, individual activity evaluations, campus-wide faculty surveys, tracking of policy utilization, interviews, and focus groups. Such a mixed-methods approach combines quantitative and qualitative indicators of change and provides deeper insight into the impact of interventions on the experiences of women faculty. This paper uses feedback on the impact of ADVANCE program activities from focus groups of female engineering professors and quantitative data from faculty surveys to explore perceptions of climate and worklife balance in the college of engineering.

- Authenticity in the academy: The misinterpretation of Black Women’s communication in academic White spacesNeal, Brandi R. (Virginia Tech, 2019-04-11)Language is the dominant standard through which communication occurs. It provides us with resources to manipulate concepts and solve problems. The ways in which we use our language to communicate varies depending on culture, identity, environment, and experiences. Specific groups such as Black women are habitually judged for their communication skills and stereotyped as “angry”, “loud”, “aggressive” and “deviant”. Cultural differences and power relations such as sexism, patriarchy, and racism among individuals and institutions produce these stereotypical perspectives toward Black women particularly in White spaces. How Black women communicate in predominantly White spaces often relates to their use of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), which contains a rich depository of language factors by which the African American community expresses a cultural self. These factors are evident in the development of internal components of the language’s “sounds, words, rhythm, sentential structures, and their expressions” (Zeigler 2001, p. 70). Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their personal experiences and the ways in which they combat these microaggressions and stereotypes.
