Professional Development for Department Heads
Raising awareness about issues related to underrepresented faculty
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.
