The ADVANCE Office for Faculty Equity & Resilience (OFER) sponsors initiatives designed to promote an academic environment where all faculty can thrive. To do so, we pay attention to equity issues at multiple levels.

OFER Leadership, Equity Leaders, and Ambassadors will meet for our annual retreat. This year instead of the retreat we are holding a half-day conference that will bring experts to present on topics relevant to faculty Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), and provide an opportunity for our team to review our accomplishments and challenges and receive your feedback.
We encourage interested UML faculty to register by the deadline to attend this half-day conference.

When: May 22, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Where: Alumni Hall at UMass Lowell
Cost: Free
A boxed lunch will be provided.

Please register by May 10.

Email Brita_Dean@uml.edu with any questions.
