UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

Because we work with a vast amount of people, we spend lots of time meeting face to face and working across the division on committees. This ensures that our work is intentional and that we reach people in all parts of the division. More recently, we began to partner with colleagues on resource groups, which provide spaces for our constituents to meet and professionally develop with others who are similar to them. An example of this is our NOTICE group, which utilizes professional development and mentorship to help women of color advance their careers. We also recently started a faculty diversity committee that is tasked with advising the office on initiatives related to faculty diversity, particularly around hiring, advancement, and retention... We look forward to continued service to members of the Biological Sciences Division and welcome both collaboration and feedback.
