Advancing Women at Virginia Tech 2016

The mission of AdvanceVT is to assist Virginia Tech in preparing, recruiting, and retaining high quality and diverse faculty members. Initiated with support from the National Science Foundation to increase the participation and success of women faculty in science and engineering careers, AdvanceVT now operates out of the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, with support from many other units across the university. AdvanceVT and the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness monitor and report on Virginia Tech’s progress in recruiting, retaining, and advancing outstanding and diverse faculty members. This poster presents some indicators of change since the initiation of AdvanceVT in 2003.
