The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) is achieving national recognition for its role as
a research university focusing on excellence and inclusiveness. We are changing the face of science and
engineering. As part of our long-term commitment to develop and support women faculty, the Faculty Horizons
program provides participants with the knowledge and tools to build successful and productive academic careers.
The two-day summer workshop targets upper-level graduate students and post-doctoral research fellows,
particularly women, in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Due to national need,
special attention is given to including women from underrepresented groups. Faculty Horizons is sponsored by
UMBC's ADVANCE Program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Through panel presentations, interactive workshops and discussions, distinguished women scientists and engineers
from universities, agencies and companies throughout the country share insights on what it takes to be successful.
