Our Story
Funded by the National Science Foundation, the TAMU ADVANCE Center was established in 2010 to engage in research and evidence-based activities and advocacy to broaden the climate of inclusion for all faculty. The overarching goal of the Center – which is aligned with TAMU’s Diversity Plan, Action 2015, and Vision 2020 as well as the State of Texas Higher Education Plan and the National Academies – is to build on previous university-wide efforts and further weave the deeply held values of diversity, inclusion, and respect into the culture of our institution.
