UC WI is an experiential professional development program offered to mid-career women faculty, academic personnel and staff who demonstrate the potential to advance their careers at UC.  Participants represent faculty, academic personnel and staff, people managers and non-people managers.

The program has been designed to:

1. Cultivate a professional network of women that spans the UC system
2. Give women access to top UC leaders – women and men – so they can interview and learn from them about their diverse leadership approaches and journeys
3. Strengthen participants’ skills and confidence through hands-on practice with a range of tools and skills.

Ideal candidates are:

• Mid-career faculty, academic personnel, and staff from campuses, health centers, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Office of the President
• Someone who has demonstrated potential for advancement
• Ideal participants will also be open to supporting other women in the program, learning concepts that improve their effectiveness at work and hearing about the career journeys of established UC leaders.

UC is committed to creating a pipeline and network of women professionals who can contribute to one another’s and UC’s future successes.
