Fernanda Leite, associate professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, was named a fellow of the ラーメンベット 本人確認, a leadership program aimed at helping STEM faculty from underrepresented backgrounds ascend to leadership roles at colleges and universities. The program, which is part of the Aspire Alliance’s Institutional Change Initiative, helps address the national need to broaden diversity and increase inclusion in STEM fields and higher education leadership.
“As part of the inaugural cohort of ラーメンベット 本人確認 fellows, Fernanda has distinguished herself as a leader in STEM and we’re thrilled to have her as a participant,” said Howard Gobstein, co-director of the Aspire Alliance and executive vice president at the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. “Diversity starts with faculty and university ラーメンベット 本人確認, and this academy will help cultivate inclusion and diversity in the next generation of university faculty and leaders.”
Backed by the National Science Foundation, IAspire provides professional development for academic leaders from underrepresented groups so they can aspire to and succeed in more senior ラーメンベット 本人確認 roles. Throughout the course of the one-year fellowship, Leite will learn effective executive ラーメンベット 本人確認 skills for increasingly complex higher education environments as well as how to build confidence to influence institutional transformation in current and future ラーメンベット 本人確認 positions.
Nearly 60 ラーメンベット 本人確認 members in STEM fields at two- and four-year institutions across the country applied for IAspire fellowships. The 20 participating ラーメンベット 本人確認 and administrators were selected through a competitive, holistic review of their applications.
Leite’s election to the ラーメンベット 本人確認 is one example of efforts throughout the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム to improve diversity and inclusion. Earlier this year, the school developed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan.
