About LIMFEF
Minorities are in the most tenuous position
in science and engineering. This is particularly true of the
environmental sector. Historically, minorities have been under-represented
in all aspects of the environmental field, including universities.
Moreover, minority females are less likely to hold faculty positions
than their male counterparts. A number of factors may account
for this. The Leadership Initiative for Minority Female Environmental
Faculty (LIMFEF) believes that netoworking, mentoring, understanding
the status of minority women in the field, and leadership development
are integral in the enhancement of minority women in the environmental
field. Subsequently, the program is designed to accomplish four
goals:
- Conduct a
national study to determine the status of female minority
environmental faculty,
- Develop a
national database with contact information of minority
female environmental faculty,
- Develop a
clickable e-book of minority female environmental faculty
featuring profiles of "pioneers" in the field
and "rising stars", and
- Convene a
national conference of minority female environmental faculty
to discuss the results of the study, network, develop
mentoring relationships, and craft leadership strategies.
