NSF
ADVANCE Professorships
In December 2001, four senior women faculty members, one each
from the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, Sciences, and Ivan
Allen, were selected to hold NSF ADVANCE Professorships. Each
faculty member will receive annual funds for five years to support
her research and leadership activities to advance women in her
respective college, and Institute-wide.

to coordinate their projects and exchange ideas; (2) participation
in campus events related to ADVANCE; and (3) planning and participation
in the annual Georgia Tech ADVANCE Mini-Conferences.
