Faculty Fellow Nitesh Chawla (computer science and engineering) was quoted in an article in The Washington Post about the most successful networking strategies for women seeking leadership roles. The article focuses on a study which found that women with strong ties to an inner circle to two to three other women were the most high achieving. In reference to these close relationships, Chawla said, "That kind of support, we hypothesize, helps propel women into leadership positions...They can apply for jobs that are a better match.”
