Two additional workshops will be held later in February for advanced doctoral students and early career faculty, as well as academic leaders. Please contact the ADVANCE Center team to learn more about these interactive workshops at wvuadvance@mail.wvu.edu.

Dr. Carter-Sowell also plans to visit the WVU campus - COVID permitting - as a Big 12 Fellow later this year. Please let us know if you would like to schedule time for you and your faculty, staff or students to meet with her.
