Senate Plenary Session on Women at Pitt

Vision Statement

We seek to create a climate at the University of Pittsburgh in which women as well as men excel in leadership, scholarship, and citizenship, and in which women as well as men become full contributors to the University community.

The success and support of women students, teachers, researchers, staff, and leaders are central to high-quality undergraduate programs, superior graduate training, horizon-expanding research, knowledge transfer, continuing education, and social, intellectual, and economic development.

The Spring 2004 Senate Plenary aims to serve as an opportunity to record and celebrate progress toward women’s and men’s full and equal inclusion in the mission of the University.

Goals:

· Note progress in attracting, retaining, and developing women as undergraduate students, graduate trainees, faculty, staff, and administrators.

· Assess the degree to which the University is meeting the goals and expectations articulated by the Provost in his 2002 Memorandum on diversity (with respect to women).

· Spur continued efforts to promote the mission of the University and thus move the University of Pittsburgh into the top tier of research universities through the inclusion and development of women.

· Acknowledge, support, celebrate, and insist upon the importance of women to the mission of the University of Pittsburgh.
