Join Dr. Carey Ruiz, ACCE Co-PI and Associate Professor of Sociology at Campbellsville University, for the first ACCE webinar of the Fall 2024 semester!

This presentation -- designed specifically for new faculty -- will center around how understanding the background of some of our students (i.e., First generation, Appalachian, Pell eligible) can help us be more effective educators both in and out of the classroom.

Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE Program, Award #2304868 aims to address the significant challenge of hiring and retaining women and underrepresented minorities in STEM faculty positions, particularly at small rural institutions in the Appalachian region. As a non-profit consortium of 33 private four-year liberal arts institutions, the Appalachian College Association (ACA) serves Appalachian communities through the transformational work of its faculty, staff, and students. The National Science Foundation’s ADVANCE program is aimed at increasing the participation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers, thereby developing a more diverse science and engineering workforce.
