Women's Academy
Academies have historically been used at UNC Charlotte to provide an interdisciplinary forum for faculty to discuss topics that may lead to new programs, collaborations, or research centers. The ADVANCE Program has established the Women’s Academy to serve as a structural focal point for activities that support women faculty by addressing issues that female faculty face.
Some of the activities the Women’s Academy sponsors include:
- Women in Science Speaker Series that awards funding to STEM departments to bring in female scholars from other universities.
- Lectures and discussions with distinguished speakers concerning women, gender, and science.
- Opportunities for women in STEM disciplines to network.
- Workshops in career development for women across campus.
