Marissa Carrere has been named one of the 44 Advance Faculty Fellows for the coming academic year. As an Advance Fellow, she will partner with UMass ADVANCE to promote gender and racial equity for faculty at UMass. Faculty Fellows provide recommendations and feedback to the team about ADVANCE programming and liaise with their departments to promote the ADVANCE program. They also inform ADVANCE about successful equity and inclusion initiatives in their units. Each year ADVANCE announces a theme related to our focus on Collaboration and Equity. UMass ADVANCE’s theme for the upcoming program year is “Recognizing Research and Crediting Collaboration Equitably.” (UMass ADVANCE, 9/7/22)
