AIMBE hosted a symposium on Diversifying Paths to Academic Leadership. The symposium was sponsored by the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), a non-profit honorific society of the most accomplished medical and biological engineers. The purpose of the symposium were to:

• Broaden opportunities for diverse and underrepresented leadership in BioE
• Encourage and invite faculty to consider and prepare to pursue leadership roles
• Educate faculty on expectations and duties of these roles
• Highlight experiences and paths to leadership

The first day of the symposium was open to all faculty to register and attend. The second day of the symposium focused on breakout discussion groups and was open to faculty women to apply to attend through a short application.
