The ADVANCE Office for Faculty Equity & Resilience builds upon the successes of the UMass Lowell Center for Women & Work (CWW)’s Making WAVES initiative, as well as new efforts identified by the University-wide Sexual Harassment Task Force and the Social Justice and Inclusion Task Forces.
The ADVANCE OFER sponsors initiatives designed to promote an academic environment where all faculty can thrive. To do so, we pay attention to equity issues at multiple levels of analysis.
