The growing network of UMass ADVANCE Faculty Fellows is a key element in the success of our efforts. Faculty Fellows provide recommendations and feedback about priorities to the UMass ADVANCE leadership team and liaise with their departments to promote ADVANCE programs and tools. They also inform ADVANCE about successful equity and inclusion initiatives in their units. We are always developing new ways of connecting and collaborating with the Fellows network to shape new resources, forums, and supportive actions.
Since 2018, over 300 faculty have connected their departments with ADVANCE through this role. The current ADVANCE Faculty Fellows are:
