The overall goal of the funded project, Connecting Women Faculty in Geotechnical Engineering—Thriving in a Networked World, is to create an enduring network of geotechnical engineering faculty colleagues and collaborators, both women and men. It is anticipated that network improvements will be facilitated by developing a cohesive intellectual community that has new information and strategies to connect and sustain connections that can provide greater access to mentoring, novel information, and potential collaboration partners. We hope you enjoy this workshop designed to introduce the strategies and skills necessary to build a strong, diverse network.
