U.Va. ADVANCE Initiatives

U.Va. ADVANCE proposes an ambitious set of initiatives to help meet the institutional transformation goals over the next five years. It is acknowldeged that this work will be neither simple nor easy. It will require vision, pragmatic and effective programs and activities, attention to both quantitative data and qualitative experiences, and strategically distributed resources. It will need to encourage creative problem-solving and address multifaceted cultural issues and competing priorities, for which there are no quick solutions. Ultimately, long-term solutions will require our entire community to commit to open dialogue about how U.Va. can become a model of new educational strategies and a source of visionary, public-spirited leaders, both female and male, for the twenty-first century.

Initiative One: Departmental Diversity and Action Transformation (DDAT)

Initiative Two: Reimagined Spaces—Voices and Visibility
