Women of Color (WoC) Advisory Board Launch | 2020 Academic Year End Newsletter

In 2020, a Women of Color (WoC) Advisory Board to the Office of AdvanceRIT was established. 

This group advises AdvanceRIT on initiatives to support the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women faculty of color at RIT. The WoC Advisory Board is currently developing a series of programmatic activities and establishing an evaluation plan to measure success after AdvanceRIT sponsored both the annual Faculty of Color in the Academy Conference at Virginia Tech and the WoC Advisory Board’s attendance for professional development and networking. The work of this group builds upon initiatives that started during the NSF Advance grant that included a Women of Color research study and a workshop series.
