Bridge to Faculty program continues success of increasing underrepresented faculty at UIC
#UIC is doing remarkable work to create equal access to educational opportunities, with the Bridge to Faculty Program making great strides in expanding the number of underrepresented faculty. Let's take a moment to recognize and congratulate those making a difference, including our very own #UICLAS faculty, for their involvement in this fantastic program!
UIC Chancellor Marie Lynn Miranda, who attended and spoke at the B2F reception, said the program characterizes the university’s values and mission. “For me, it’s entirely emblematic of who we are as an institution. We have to seek commitment, providing the broadest possible access to the highest levels of educational research and critical excellence. That’s our mission,” said Chancellor Miranda. “And that educational and research excellence extends to our undergraduate and graduate programs helping to mentor, shape and nurture scholars — who recently completed their PhDs and getting them into faculty roles — is very much part of that mission.”
