In 2019, the Women's Center, the Women's and Gender Studies Program, and the Provost's Office launched the Gender Equity Research Fellows program, selecting two people of any gender and from any disciplinary background to spend a year conducting research and developing recommendations that will advance gender equity and social justice.

Each fellow works alongside an undergraduate student research assistant over the academic year to complete their projects. This collection contains the reports and recommendations resulting from the fellowships.
