This presentation will focus on successful strategies for recruiting and retaining an outstanding and diverse engineering workforce. Examples include best practices for proactive search processes that yield a strong and diverse applicant pool. In addition, specific examples are given regarding how to conduct equitable and effective interviews. Of course, recruiting a talented and diverse team is only the first step in creating a diverse workplace. The real challenge is retaining that talent. The University of Washington has a National Science Foundation ADVANCE award that focuses on advancing women faculty in math, science and engineering. This program includes leadership development, mentoring, policy transformation, cultural change and a transitional support program. The ADVANCE program and some preliminary outcomes are described.
