ϲϿ Davis has spent more than twenty years advancing faculty diversity. We’ve pioneered implicit bias workshops for faculty recruitment advisory committees, effective evaluation of contributions to diversity, and signature initiatives that have provided more than $20M in hiring incentives for faculty with multicultural perspectives. Since ϲϿ Davis received its NSF-ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant in 2012, the proportion of ϲϿ Davis tenure-track faculty who identify as Latinx/Chicanx has nearly doubled, and ϲϿ Davis has been recognized as #1 of the 13 most important STEM universities for women. We offer a suite of programs to assist faculty in making the transition to a new career at ϲϿ Davis and to a new life in our region. Learn more about our commitment.
