Women earn a majority of master’s degrees and nearly half of all doctoral degrees handed out at U.S. colleges, yet they only make up a small percentage of full-time professors and one-fourth of university presidents.
Four current and former women leaders in higher education, including University of the Pacific President Pamela A. Eibeck, will discuss the lack of female leadership as well as their career paths and the dynamics of women’s leadership. They also will explore the challenges and opportunities that still exist for developing more women into college presidents.
“Women and the College Presidency: Gender and Leadership in Higher Education” will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. April 4 in the Presidents Room on Pacific’s Stockton campus.
