On April 18, Cindy Simpson and Gail Gasparich visited Lehigh University representing AWIS and spoke with some participants of our Interdisciplinary Networking Committee mentoring program about faculty mentoring of graduate students. Topics covered were broad and included work-life balance, working with students who have their own funding and how to cultivate independent questioning and intellectual curiosity while supporting your own research goals. The slides are available for viewing.

Research suggests women may be drawn more to collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Lehigh ADVANCE will shed light on to what extent and how interdisciplinary work is gendered, not only in terms of participation but in terms of outcomes.
