Co-sponsors

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley ADVANCE Program

The UTRGV ADVANCE Program is a five-year, $3.1 million institutional transformation grant, funded by the National Science Foundation, with the goal of increasing the representation and advancement of women, especially Hispanics, in STEM academic fields. The project started in fall 2012 with several integrated initiatives designed to enhance the recruitment, retention, and promotion of women faculty. Our ultimate goal is to create a supportive workplace and a family-friendly climate that attracts and nurtures the careers of all faculty. As part of the Policy & Climate initiative, a Lactation Policy Committee was formed in spring 2014 to develop a campus lactation policy/guidelines and to identify spaces on campus to be used for that purpose. As a result, and in collaboration with the offices of Human Resources, Dean of Students, and Facilities Management, several Nursing Mother Suites have been created across the university.
