Welcome to the FIU ADVANCE Office
Established in 2016 by Provost Kenneth G. Furton, the FIU ADVANCE Office aimed to achieve and sustain faculty professional development to enhance FIU's academic excellence. FIU ADVANCE developed and managed a wide range of programs to promote faculty hiring, promotion, and retention using evidence-based "best practices," through workshops and trainings, to improve faculty mentoring, interdisciplinary networking, and a sense of belonging.
Other activities included strategic planning for policy analysis and development, and other initiatives that supported an inclusive workplace. FIU ADVANCE was funded from 2016-2023 by FIU and a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant. It aimed to increase, retain and promote faculty excellence at FIU.
Best Regards,
Suzanna M. Rose, Ph.D.
Associate Provost
