(1/3) Our newest report shows a significant rise in women leading the nation's top 146 research universities. Women now occupy the president's office at 30% of the country's R1s, up from 22% less than two years ago! womenspowergap.org/national-resea…

@Suffolk_U @Chancellor_Chen @UMassLowell @PamEddinger @BHCCBoston @BostonGlobe Thank you, Shirley @Leung, for highlighting and uplifting these exceptional leaders. We are inspired by these women every day & look forward to continuing to advocate for #genderparity in #highereducation and beyond. #GenderParityNow #highered #womenleaders #womeninleadership

Women now account for 39% of college presidents in MA, up from 33% in 2018. Among these leaders are our friends Marisa Kelly of @Suffolk_U, @Chancellor_Chen of @UMassLowell, & @PamEddinger of @BHCCBoston all of whom were featured in the 2023 Women & Power issue of @BostonGlobe.

Despite women outnumbering men on college campuses, women – especially women of color – are severely underrepresented in the Ivory Tower. Here in #MA, however, colleges and universities are increasingly turning to women to lead the $13.5 billion industry. bostonglobe.com/2023/11/03/mag…

Kudos to @WomensFundWMass on the launch of the 2023 Gender Equity in Western Massachusetts report. We are honored to see our research appear in this important study as we collectively work towards #genderparity across our Commonwealth. Read more here: hubs.la/Q0281f4d0

We must not stop until our elected leaders mirror the people they represent. #GenderParityNow #genderparity #womensupportingwomen bostonglobe.com/2023/11/04/bus…

We must continue to dismantle the systems where women candidates often have to do more to prove themselves than men. We must continue to support women candidates we believe in. We must encourage women to believe that they can be leaders from an early age.

Grateful for the steadfast leadership and support @BarbaraLeeSays and the Lee Family Office have shown women throughout the last 25 years. In #Massachusetts and beyond, the glass ceilings that once hung over the halls of Beacon Hill, City Hall, and Congress have been shattered.

@ACEducation & @CarnegieFdn announced that the Carnegie Classifications, the leading framework for recognizing & describing institutional diversity in the U.S., will undergo changes by 2025—playing a vital role in ensuring the inclusivity of #highered. hubs.la/Q027JMZX0

(2/2) The panel, featuring Andrea Silbert, was truly remarkable, fostering insightful discussions and offering valuable perspectives.

(1/2) Yesterday, our own @AndreaSilbert took part as a panelist in the "Unleashing the Potential of Wealth Creation: Empowering Economic Transformation" discussion during Roxbury Community College's 50th Anniversary Academic Symposium.

Thank you @CIOViews for including our report findings to highlight the gender divide in top #highered leadership. We love to see women like Dr. Reena Lichtenfeld breaking barriers in a space where women are often met with a lack of support & opportunities. cioviews.com/dr-reena-licht…

Join us at @seeRCC on November 3 where our very own @AndreaSilbertwill be participating as a panelist at RCC's 50th Anniversary Academic Symposium alongside @CourtneyJ_Brun, Grace Lee, Lou Sahlu, moderated by @BettyFrancisco. To register, visit: bit.ly/3QyEP8X

Higher ed leadership should reflect the student population it serves. Colleges & universities across #NewEngland have been leading the way, taking the necessary steps to ensure qualified, diverse candidates are given these opportunities. #GenderParityNow hubs.la/Q026P2C-0

We are proud to sponsor this year’s @necouncil Annual Celebration. Congratulations to the New Englander of the Year honorees: @LatoyNBCBoston, Dr. Jim O’Connell, MD @BHCHP, Pamela D.A. Reeve, and The Honorable Martin J. Walsh @NHLPA. Learn more: hubs.la/Q026yVG60

Thrilled to see Dr. Claudia Goldin’s research about women in the work force recognized with the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. A career trailblazer, Dr. Goldin is just the 3rd woman to win the Nobel in economics & the first with a standalone award. hubs.la/Q025ZkXD0

With this historic appointment of BU’s first woman & first Black president, 18% of college & university presidents in MA are now women of color, a number that has tripled since 2018 when we began tracking leadership composition. Let us continue to build on this momentum.

Another #glassceiling has been shattered! Congratulations to Dr. Melissa Gilliam on her appointment as the 12th president of Boston University. We applaud @BU_Tweets, board chair Ahmass Fakahany, and search committee chair Tonie Leatherberry. #highered bostonglobe.com/2023/10/04/met…

Using data from our latest report on leadership diversity at the nation’s elite universities & colleges, Dr. Rosalyn Vellurattil’s story for @TheMessenger calls out the realities & consequences of underrepresentation in #highered. #GenderParityNOW hubs.la/Q023S4VL0

Our president @AndreaSilbert shared her insights with @UAtrav to highlight the importance of #genderparity across #highered leadership. We're urging institutions to be proactive and intentional in combatting bias and shattering the #glassceiling. uatrav.com/lifestyles/art…

The University of Arkansas, which ranked 101 out of 130 schools for leadership diversity in our latest report, has not had woman or person of color as president since its founding in 1871. hubs.la/Q023Scj70 -
