• Published findings: Multiple Paths to Full Professor: Challenges to the Academy in the 21st Century (Oakland Journal, 冬天2016)
• 新闻报道: Science grant, WISE@OU to help STEM initiative (Looking in the Future: Women in 研究 at Oakland University, 2012年春季)

聪明的 transitioned from the grant-funded WISE@OU project. WISE@OU was funded by the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program through a Partnerships for Adaptation, 实现, and Dissemination (PAID) Grant (Award 1107072) from 2011 to 2016. WISE@OU focused on creating a comprehensive recruitment, 保留, and career development program for women and under-represented populations in the disciplines of science, 技术, 工程, and math (STEM). This program was active from 2011 to 2016. 2016年秋季, the program transitioned to the 研究 Office and became 聪明的 (Women in Science, 工程, 和研究).

WISE@OU’s program areas focused on:

• Self-assessment – conducted a climate survey and focus groups to fully understand the campus culture and issues facing women and under-represented populations in STEM
• Reform of our recruitment effort – promoted continuous wide-sweeping training of decision makers to raise their awareness of issues and provide them with 工具 to combat biases and address equity
• Career development – adapted and implemented a portfolio of methods and 工具 to support career development of faculty in the STEM fields
• Dissemination – shared our experiences, 工具, and results to benefit (i) community and small colleges in Eastern 密歇根 and (ii) institutions whose politics and procedures are negotiated between the administration and faculty union

WISE@OU accomplishments:

• Anti-bias training for search committees and faculty review committees
• Family-friendly information for faculty and faculty candidates
• 资源 for new faculty
• High-quality cohort mentoring program
• Proactive pathway to grants program
• Diverse faculty development workshops
• Proactive nomination for internal and external awards
• Development of mid-career faculty resources and workshops
• Support and resources for department chairs and program directors
• Dissemination to other 4-year institutions and to community college colleagues
• Presentations at regional and national meetings
• Publication of findings

The WISE@OU Leadership Team included:

• Kathleen Moore (Arts and Sciences, Chemistry)
• Joi Cunningham (Academic Human 资源, previously Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives)
• Laila Guessous (Mechanical 工程)
• Brad Roth (Physics)
• Julie Walters (Political Science)
• Jo Reger (Women & Gender Studies, Sociology)
• Previous member: Fatma Mili (Computer Science & 工程)
• Previous member: Sanela Martic (Chemistry)

Staff support was provided by Leanne (DeVreugd) Papke, who continued to coordinate the 聪明的 program until 2023.

The WISE@OU Internal Advisory Committee provided guidance in the early years of the grant program. Committee members included:

• Hoda Abdel-Aty-Zohdy (Electrical and Computer 工程)
• Ferman Chavez (Chemistry)
• Jia Li (Electrical and Computer 工程)
• Gerard Madlambayan (Biological Sciences)
• Debra McGinnis (Psychology)
• Dawn Pickard (Teacher Development and Educational Studies)
• Phyllis Rooney (Philosophy)
• Mohammad Siadat (Computer Science and 工程)
• Anna Spagnuolo (Mathematics and Statistics)

WISE@OU was also guided by an external advisory group consisting of ADVANCE leaders from the University of 密歇根 – Ann Arbor, Wayne State University, 密歇根 State University, and the University of Northern Colorado/Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences.
