Murray State University (MSU) will implement an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation-Catalyst (IT-Catalyst) project to undertake institutional self-assessment activities. MSU will conduct surveys of faculty and interviews, review existing institutional data and policies, conduct site-visits to ADVANCE institutions, invite speakers to campus to inform and educate the administration and faculty, and conduct mentoring circles to support junior STEM faculty. MSU provides a unique opportunity to examine the recruitment, retention and promotion of women faculty in STEM disciplines at a regional comprehensive and primarily undergraduate public university in rural western Kentucky. MSU serves a region that has been historically underserved in STEM education and has been challenged to recruit and retain female faculty and students in STEM. The Murray State University project will add to our understanding of the factors that impact women in a rural academic environment. This project may serve as a model for other rural regional universities where women faculty are commonly underrepresented in STEM. The ADVANCE program is focused on developing systemic approaches to increase the participation, retention, and advancement of women in academic STEM careers. The IT-Catalyst track funds projects to conduct institutional self-assessments as well as implement strategies that have been shown to be effective to address gendered issues for STEM faculty.

默里州立大学（MSU）将实施一项提前的机构转型 - 催化剂（IT-Catalyst）项目，以进行机构自我评估活动。 MSU将对教师和访谈进行调查，审查现有的机构数据和政策，进行现场访问以推进机构，邀请演讲者到校园内，以告知和教育行政和教师，并进行指导圈子以支持初级STEM教师。 MSU提供了一个独特的机会，可以在肯塔基州乡村的区域综合和主要是本科公立大学的STEM学科中招募，保留和促进女教师的招募，保留和促进。 MSU为一个在STEM教育方面一直乏味的地区提供服务，并受到挑战，以招募和保留女教师和STEM学生。 默里州立大学的项目将增加我们对影响农村学术环境中女性的因素的理解。 该项目可能是其他农村地区大学的模型，在STEM中，女教师通常不足以代表性。该提前计划的重点是开发系统的方法来增加妇女在学术STEM职业中的参与，保留和进步。 IT-Catalyst跟踪基金项目进行机构自我评估以及实施策略，这些策略已被证明有效解决STEM教师的性别问题。
