there is still progress to be made to overcome biases and systems of exclusion. Since
women play an increasing and influential role in the administration and leadership of
higher education institutions, understanding their unique contributions is critical. In this
study, qualitative methods were used to gather data on common characteristics of women
leaders in higher education administration. Data were gathered from interviews with
twenty women working in a cross section of professional positions at four comprehensive
public universities in the Pacific Northwest. Results showed that the participants used
collaboration, communication, and information sharing and addressed conflict to build
relationships, establish trust, and inspire a shared vision. Most of the participants in this study indicated that they were rewarded, recognized, and supported in their positions;
however, some indicated that discrimination still occurs based upon gender. / Committee in Charge:
