FORWARD in SEM: Focus on Reaching Women for Academics, Research and Development in Science, Engineering and Mathematics is a joint program of the George Washington and Gallaudet Universities funded by a National Science Foundation ADVANCE leadership award. This workshop is provided for women and minorities who may be considering, or are currently in, a tenure track position in science, engineering or mathematics. The 2 1/2 day workshop will focus on skills, strategies and "insider information" necessary to obtain a tenure-track position, to succeed in one and advance to other positions of leadership. This is also an opportunity to network and meet peers. There is no cost to attend  this workshop.

Attendees will learn to:

Make effective use of their time to tenure
Secure research funding
Navigate the tenure-track process
Avoid service overcommitment
Apply and negotiate for a position
Get the most out of teaching
