Emory University is one of 13 organizations that has joined the partner network as an inaugural group. “We recognize that historically male-dominated and hierarchical environments such as academia, including medicine, can be fertile ground for sexual harassing behaviors,” says Carolyn Meltzer, MD, who is the chief diversity and inclusion officer at Emory’s School of Medicine and the university’s representative in the partner network. “My colleagues and I at Emory look forward to continuing our work on mitigating systemic gender bias and inequity as a member institution of the partner network, and filtering those efforts to a local level in Atlanta.”

These programs require a hands-on component, so measures like physical distancing and lab and classroom capacity impacted the number of students who could participate at any one time. The GEER grant is intended to help colleges as they find new and different ways to provide instruction so students can complete their programs and enter the job market ready
