HERS Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration
Wright State University is committed to the success of women administrators and faculty. Through the vision and support of the president's office, we have sent more than twenty-six candidates to the HERS Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration since 1986. This prestigious and competitive nomination is an excellent professional development opportunity for faculty and staff who are preparing for increased administrative responsibilities.
The summer institute is a residential program that offers women administrators and faculty intensive training in education administration. The Institute is composed of five curricular units that provide participants with a comprehensive and diverse perspectives on current issues in higher education. The Institute places emphasis on the internationalization of higher education and the growing diversity of the student body and workforce.
The purpose of the summer institute is to improve the status of women in the middle and executive levels of higher education administration, areas in which women traditionally have been under-represented. The unique aspect of the institute is its commitment to the development of a professional network of skilled women administrators ready to be mutually supportive and to work cooperatively to enlarge the professional opportunities for women in higher education.
