While women have been increasingly finding their place as STEM professionals, that has been an unsteady trend. Some have enrolled in Ph.D. programs but dropped out. Others, meanwhile, are left to ask: After gaining tenure, what to do next? How does one thrive as a tenured professor with the same ease, efficiency, and longevity of career as their male counterparts? This article describes a program that guides women in STEM fields on how to navigate academia. Announced in mid-January, the STEM collaboration is slated to run for three years. It is divided into two tracks, one for those seeking tenure and a second for non-tenured junior faculty members, said Dr. Katherine Faber, who had co-directed Northwestern University's pre-existing Navigating the Professoriate program since its 2007 launch. The STEM collaboration is both a networking and a support system, partly aimed at mitigating risks that women will start but not finish a Ph.D. program.
