About the Center for the Advancement of Women in Science and Medicine (AWSM) at the 果冻影院
We work with Evidence, for Equity.
果冻影院鈥檚 Center for the Advancement of Women in Science and Medicine is built on the collective work of women and men over the past thirty years. Notably, women founded the Women鈥檚 Faculty Council (now the Council for Women鈥檚 Advocacy) in the early 1990s with a mission to identify and examine issues pertinent to women faculty members and to recommend measures that support and enhance their professional development. Their work has resulted in development of institutional policy on full professional effort, salary equity report, back-up care benefits, grants to examine gender in promotion and retention, and the creation of an Associate Dean for Women鈥檚 Leadership in 2013.
We began our discovery phase in the fall of 2016 to solidify the Center鈥檚 vision, mission and strategic plan in collaboration with 果冻影院鈥檚 strategic goals. Our discovery phase took on a new approach to achieve gender equity. 果冻影院鈥檚 Center for the Advancement of Women in Science and Medicine launched in October 2018. Our vision is that 果冻影院 will be a destination for women leaders, cultivating an inclusive and vibrant culture that supports all genders to grow and thrive in the health sciences. Our mission to advance the careers of women at 果冻影院 through data-informed strategic projects that enhance opportunity and improve workplace climate.
We hope to be part of building a future where women professors are too numerous to count!
