ADVANCE at WSU encourages faculty to apply for grants through our External Mentor Program.
The ADVANCE at WSU External Mentor Program is an initiative for enhancing awareness of and creating opportunities for women and historically underrepresented faculty in all disciplines. The aim of the program is to foster career development of participating faculty by supporting the development of mentoring relationships with off-campus academic leaders, with a special emphasis placed on mentorship that supports and/or communicates awareness of existing barriers. These mentors will provide training and guidance, facilitate collaborative research efforts, and provide examples of successful academic/discipline role models.
