Faculty Women of Color in the Academy Conference
About the FWCA
The annual Faculty Women of Color in the Academy National Conference (FWCA) offers a distinctive educational and professional platform for Indigenous and Women of Color in higher education to engage in networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with peers from diverse geographical backgrounds. The 13th annual FWCA event will incorporate sessions dedicated to exploring themes such as leadership, career progression, personal well-being, scholar activism, and the experiences of graduate school and emerging scholars.
The Graduate School sponsors two graduate students to attend the annual Faculty Women of Color in the Academy National Conference (FWCA). This conference is perfect for current graduate teaching assistants who want to strengthen their skills or students who are not currently teaching but are interested in a faculty position as a career.
