UMass ADVANCE Announces Fall Faculty Development Workshops
UMass ADVANCE is pleased to announce the following workshops for UMass faculty and leaders.
Funded by a five-year, $3.1M National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant, UMass ADVANCE promotes gender and racial equity for STEM faculty at UMass. Through a combination of research, programming, and interventions, UMass ADVANCE seeks to understand and address systemic and intersectional inequalities at UMass and to lay the groundwork for a fairer, more equitable, diverse, and inclusive campus.
Each year ADVANCE announces a theme related to our focus on Collaboration and Equity. The fall lineup of programming reflects UMass ADVANCE’s theme for the upcoming program year: “Shared Decision-Making and Equity in Faculty Governance.”
