Please help with our ADVANCE Equity Survey

A team of researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has begun a survey of graduate students, faculty, postdocs, and staff as part of a new project aimed at increasing the number of underrepresented wāhine (women) faculty in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. The team hopes that the survey will help shape the types of changes that will be needed to make UH Mānoa more inclusive and supportive of underrepresented women faculty in the sciences. (Participate in the survey if you are graduate students, postdocs, faculty and staff.) The survey is expected to take 15–20min.
