Activating networks. Removing barriers. Empowering success. Changing culture.
As a unit of the Office of Academic Personnel, UW ADVANCE partners with individual faculty, department chairs, UW leadership and the national STEM community to create systemic change so that women faculty can equitably join, succeed, and lead in STEM fields. UW ADVANCE serves research, tenured, and tenure-track faculty of all gender identities in our core units.
