About the Tarleton Women\u2019s Mentoring Network
<\/strong>Tarleton WMN began from a writing accountability group designed to help motivate women to achieve their research goals. Over time, the group\u2019s conversations shifted to more general support, encouragement and mentoring. WMN was formally created in August 2019, in connection with Texas Women in Higher Education and Texas A&M System goals to support women in the academy.
