Who We Are

  • Recruitment - development, and use of equitable recruiting practices 
  • Workplace Climate - focused on the improvement of unit climate 
  • Retention - preemptive strategies to prevent the loss of valued faculty 
  • Leadership Development - skill and career development for faculty leaders at all levels 

Our 15+ person team supports these four areas through research and evaluation, programming, and administration efforts. Visit our website to learn more about our work and the team. Visit our website (http://advance.umich.edu/) to learn more about our work and the team.
