The need for these resources is substantial, as the evidence for gender inequality in employment in the United States is overwhelming and well-documented. Women continue to face systemic barriers to equal pay, promotion opportunities, and equal representation in leadership positions.
Please consider the resources on this page or make an appointment with us to address your concerns, work through challenges, and strengthen your application materials.
