Our Collaborations
ADVANCE collaborates with many partners at the University of Michigan. If you are interested in collaborating with ADVANCE, please contact us at advanceprogram@umich.edu.
Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
a collaboration with the Provost’s Office, has been very successful in recruiting diverse and excellent faculty to U-M following a mentored postdoctoral experience here. Twelve new faculty have been hired via this program in just nine years.
CRLT Players
Our long-standing collaboration with the CRLT Players brings relevant theater sketches to the attention of faculty, for example to our Network to ADVANCE Women Scientists and Engineers.
LSA
We collaborate with LSA on a series of workshops for faculty that are open campus-wide. We also collaborated with LSA and the Institute for the Humanities to bring The Op-Ed Project to campus.
Health Sciences
We collaborate with Launch in the Health Sciences to bring launch committees to new faculty in Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Kinesiology.
NextProf: Science workshop
ADVANCE also collaborates with LSA on the NextProf: Science workshop, which provides an opportunity for faculty to meet, inspire, and advise underrepresented potential faculty from across the country, and ultimately attract some to U-M. This LSA workshop, patterned after a similar one in Engineering, has brought almost 200 potential faculty to campus.
Unit Program Evaluations
ADVANCE’s Research and Evaluation arm collaborates with various units to evaluate programs. Two examples are the LSA Laptop Loan program, and the Rackham Bridge programs.
