No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Briefly, the ADVANCE program is dedicated to analyzing and eliminating gender disparities in the academic setting. At Georgia Tech, it provides resources to reduce gender bias, mitigate barriers due to family responsibilities, and increase career advancement opportunities for women. Dr. Ross has recently been appointed as the ADVANCE Professor for the CoA, tasked with leading the program for CoA faculty and academic professionals. The ADVANCE program is funded by the National Science Foundation and Georgia Tech. Please see http://advance.gatech.edu/ for more program information.
This event will give us a chance to get better acquainted, discuss women's progress in the CoA, and enjoy lunch together. There will be a presentation on the ADVANCE program and its goals, as well as a short presentation from Dean Balfour.
