MSU receives $3.4 million to help broaden participation of women faculty

Montana State University has received a $3.4 million grant to help broaden the participation of women faculty members by improving the work environment for the entire campus.

An open house to celebrate will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, in Leon Johnson 319. MSU President Waded Cruzado invites the entire campus and community to join her and the grant team there.

Announced Sept. 15, the five-year ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant from the National Science Foundation focuses on ways to broaden the participation of women in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and the SBS fields of social and behavioral sciences. Those are two areas where MSU women are outnumbered by men.
