STRIDE enlightens administrators on best equity practices

As part of its overall efforts to improve diversity and excellence in the College of Engineering, administrators, department heads, and laboratory directors gathered on last week to learn about successful strategies and tactics related to faculty recruitment and hiring. The workshop—led by representatives from the University of Michigan's ADVANCE STRIDE team—is aimed at educating administrators on various aspects of gender equity best practices and provide a survey of current observations on problems such as unintentional biases.
