"Academic institutions play a pivotal role in preparing the science and engineering work force, and their faculty and leaders serve as intellectual personal, and organizational role models that shape the expectations of future scientists and engineers. Ensuring that the climate, the policies and the practices at these institutions encourage and support the full participation of women in all aspects of academic life, including leadership and governance, is critical to attracting students to science and engineering careers."    Alice Hogan    ADVANCE Program Manager    National Science Foundation
