Congratulations to the ADVANCE RU FAIR Professors

With assistance from our Internal Advisory and Management Boards, four professors (two individuals and one team) from the three Rutgers’ campuses were chosen as RU FAIR professors. The RU FAIR professors are Dr. Helen Buettner (Rutgers-New Brunswick’s Department of Biomedical Engineering), Dr. Georgia Arbuckle-Keil (Rutgers-Camden’s Department of Chemistry), and Drs. Judith Weis and Maggie Shiffrar, (Rutgers-Newark’s Department of Biology and Psychology, respectively). Each professor/team will serve as a university leader, who fosters mentoring, promotes diversity, facilitates communcation, and mediates between faculty and administration members with the goal of achieving improved gender equity at Rutgers University. The overall goal of the RU FAIR intiative is to remove barriers to the recruitment and retention of women faculty, to advocate for greater diversity in senior leadership positions, and to provide higher visibility to the achievements of Rutgers women faculty in SEM disciplines.
