Advance-NE Luncheon Series: Paths to Success
ADVANCE-NE invites the faculty of target STEM departments to propose names of high profile women in your discipline to visit UNL to give two talks: one in the discipline (e.g., as part of your colloquium or seminar series) and the other at an ADVANCE-funded informal luncheon, at which the speaker will share her path to a successful career in academia. Graduate students and faculty are welcome to attend the luncheons (first come, first served a free lunch!).
The luncheons will serve two purposes: 1) to provide early career women with concrete models who have successfully navigated an academic career (and perhaps balanced children, a partner, family care), and 2) provide STEM faculty an opportunity to network with one another, and perhaps for earlier-career faculty to find a mentor among more advanced faculty.
We will accept nominations for speakers who are on the faculty at UNL as well as from another institution. ADVANCE-NE will pay travel expenses for external speakers. We will give preference to women faculty at a more advance stage of their careers (Associate and Full Professors).
