ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellence

L-R: Dr. KerryAnn O'Meara, Co-Director and Co-PI;

The ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellence aims to transform the institutional culture of our University by facilitating networks, offering individual mentoring and support, and offering information and strategic opportunities for women faculty in all areas of academia. Through initiatives funded from a five year, multi-million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation, the ADVANCE Program aims to produce academic environments with assumptions, values and beliefs, policies and practices that support and generate professional growth and excellence for all faculty. The ADVANCE program was co-founded by Dr. Avis Cohen. View Website.
