Doctoral advising is a complex process. In times of uncertainty, doctoral programs offer a unique opportunity for advisors to embrace a new pedagogical and intersectional role.

Twenty‐four of 157 U.S. public research universities, within the Carnegie Classification of Doctoral Universities: Higher and Highest Research, are led by women presidents. Using Bourdieu's model of cultural capital as a theoretical framework, eight of the women presidents were interviewed to identify their experiences negotiating a patriarchal culture of leadership. Findings of the narrative study indicated that women presidents navigate in three spheres: Becoming a Member, Leading as a Member, and Staying a Member. The findings from the narrative study show the success of women presidents, and ways they navigate within the lens of gender.

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of women's leadership conferences at public research universities. A search of the 2015 Carnegie Classification of Institutes of Higher Education revealed a list of 157 research universities. Of these institutions, 40 held a women's leadership conference. Implications are discussed in how a women's leadership conference supports female students opting-in.
