ISU ADVANCE was a prominent vehicle to recruit, retain, and advance all faculty. Our program transformed structures to enrich Iowa State University faculty careers. Our team worked with university administrators, faculty, and staff to cultivate policies, practices, and cultures to achieve a vibrant faculty across the university community.
Originally funded by a National Science Foundation grant from 2006 to 2011, ISU ADVANCE was an institutionalized program with broad impact across the university community. ISU ADVANCE was housed within the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost.
Key achievements:
- Developed and institutionalized flexible faculty policies
- Enhanced search committee and promotion and tenure practices to be more consistent and transparent
- Improved networking and professional development workshops to enhance faculty success
