The University of Houston has been awarded a National Science Foundation Institutional Transformation (IT) ADVANCE grant to create a Center for ADVANCING UH Faculty Success. The goal of the NSF ADVANCE program (www.nsf.gov) is to increase the number and success of women faculty in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
One of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences diversity goals is to recruit, retain and foster a diverse faculty and staff. http://www.uh.edu/class/about-us/diversity/
