The ADVANCE Workshop Committee (formerly the STRIDE Committee) is composed of a team of faculty who help co-facilitate STRIDE workshops for faculty search committee members and the STRIPE workshops for promotion and tenure committee members. The committee meets once a month to discuss evidence-based studies on implicit bias as they relate to academic job searches and promotion review processes, to develop ways to improve the STRIDE and STRIPE workshops, and to brainstorm ways to improve the impact of these workshops on the university community.
