Mission

The mission of this organization is to establish an informal network, which will further the following aims:

  • Promote an environment in which women faculty can achieve academic success and personal fulfillment.
  • Lessen the sense of academic isolation through sharing of common concerns.
  • Foster mentoring between senior faculty women and junior faculty women and between faculty and students.  
  • Facilitate interaction among women faculty and other women professional and community leaders.
  • Promote diversity within the faculty by hiring additional qualified women and underrepresented minorities for faculty positions.
