Are you seeking fresh ideas on navigating the challenges of academic leadership, enhancing your teaching practice, or finding sustainable work/life balance?

Join us for SWE’s Women in Academia’s Belonging Symposium, SWE’s first virtual event dedicated to showcasing the voices and experiences of women engineering academics.

In this insightful symposium, engineering faculty, staff, and researchers will each share one powerful idea, tip, or strategy.

Topics include:
Academic Leadership: Practical insights for stepping into and succeeding in leadership roles
Teaching Tips: Proven techniques to engage, inspire, and educate effectively
Work/Life Balance: Real-life strategies for finding harmony and setting boundaries

This event creates a unique space for learning, networking, and collaboration among peers who understand the joys and pressures of academic life. Whether you’re early in your academic career or looking for renewed direction, the Belonging Symposium will equip you with actionable takeaways, foster collaborations and feedback for future submissions and promote SWE resources such as ALWE, WIA, SWE membership and WE conferences to support your professional growth.

Presented by: SWE Women in Academia Committee in collaboration with the SWE Advance Learning Center (ALC)
