How to be a Male Advocate

ADVANCE and other programs aiming to shrink the gender gap in STEM cannot achieve this goal without support from men. 

Lehigh ADVANCE will provide time for men to gather and discuss gender from their perspectives and to use various resources, trainings, and strategies, to be supportive agents of change in the transformation of Lehigh University. If you are interested in being an ADVNCE Advocate for STEM Women, please contact Lehigh ADVANCE.  This portion of the ADVANCE Web Site highlights information men on our campus can use now to be advocates for their female colleagues.

WORKSHOP: A campus wide workshop will be offered on October 3, 2013.  Male Advocates from the North Dakota State University ADVANCE Forward Advocates and Allies Program will talk about their program and their actions and the progress they're making at NDSU. More information in News and Events.
