Faculty Survey | NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant

On our campus, diversity, equity and inclusion are central to our mission, our values, and our success. This fall, we were awarded a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant to develop systemic and sustainable approaches to advance gender equity (including dynamics at the intersection of race and gender) and promote gender equity in ways that involve women and men. We will separately fund the extension of grant activities to school/colleges outside of the core NSF-funded disciplines to ensure that all faculty can benefit. In order to inform our efforts, we need to hear from you. On Thursday, December 6 you will receive an email invitation to complete the ADVANCE Faculty Survey.
