UNH president leads effort to support women faculty in the sciences

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire recently received a three-year $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support the advancement and leadership of women faculty in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This ADVANCE grant makes UNH part of a larger national effort to transform institutions of higher education in areas where women are traditionally underrepresented.

“Expanding opportunities for women in the sciences and engineering is a critical national need, as well as a major institutional priority for UNH,” said President Mark W. Huddleston, who is serving as the lead investigator on the grant. “And as the father of a daughter keenly pursuing mathematics and science courses in college, I have to say that ensuring that there are no barriers to young women entering these fields—and excelling in them—is a personal commitment as well. The technological challenges we face in the 21st century are so daunting that we must enlist all of our talent and creative energy—from men AND women—in finding appropriate solutions.” FULL STORY
