Are you involved with or aware of outward-facing programs and research centers at UNLV that aim to prioritize the needs and opportunities of women and girls in the local community?
If so, and the programs or centers explicitly focus on women and girls in the local community, and engage directly with external stakeholders, such as local communities, industry partners, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, your input is needed.
Michelle Meggs, executive director of Women + Girls Research Alliance at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, is conducting a brief survey about your work that will be used to support efforts to identify best practices, challenges, and opportunities for enhancement in this critical area.
Meggs is the inaugural Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU) Impact Fellow, and as a member institution of CUMU, UNLV's participation in this survey is appreciated.
This survey is an essential tool for learning about all the ways CUMU campuses are building stronger, more inclusive communities that uplift and empower women and girls. Past CUMU fellowships have resulted in reports on topics such as Homelessness and Housing Insecurity and Place-Based Hyperlocal Engagement.
