Project Abstract
With the recruitment of new Deans in the School of Nursing and School of Dentistry, there was significant hiring of ladder-rank faculty in the biomedical sciences in 2017-18. For optimal impact on these recruitments, this project included a search oversight committee and active and targeted outreach through search ambassadors; the project also leveraged the existing mentoring program, required diversity statements, and allocated recruitment funds to faculty who will contribute significantly to diversity and inclusion. The Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost provided matching funds for the recruitment of the faculty.
