Princeton University. Steering Committee on Undergraduate Women's Leadership
The Steering Committee on Undergraduate Women's Leadership at Princeton University was formed by President Shirley M. Tilghman in December 2009 in order to gain a better understanding of how female and male Princeton undergraduates define and experience achievement and leadership. The committee grew out of campus discussions about disparities between men and women in visible positions of campus leadership and concerns that undergraduate women appeared to be winning fewer academic prizes and postgraduate fellowships than men.
The committee examined current and historic data on both academic leadership and extracurricular participation at Princeton; whenever possible, it made comparisons with peer institutions. The committee also consulted broadly with the student body -- as well as with alumnae/i, faculty and staff -- through workshops, focus groups and surveys.
Most of the work of the committee was carried out by subcommittees. The subcommittees examined the first-year student experience, academic and faculty issues, campus life and extracurricular activities, alumni/ae perspectives, and comparisons with other institutions. These groups met regularly between meetings of the full committee and undertook a variety of tasks.
The subcommittees and full committee continued their work through the February 2011 and issued a report in March 2011. The report describes the committee's findings and provides recommendations for improving the opportunities for all students to excel at Princeton.
