3. UTPA ADVANCE Leadership Institute aims to increase the representation and advancement of women in STEM fields across faculty and leadership ranks, with a special focus on Latinas. By implementing several integrated components and initiatives, the project addresses the issues that have constrained the recruitment, retention and advancement of women faculty at UT Pan American.
