Welcome

As an integral part of Rensselaer’s program for institutional transformation, RAMP-Up’s goal is to change the culture and climate of the institute to one supporting all faculty members.

Goals |
Through the RAMP-Up Initiative, Rensselaer faculty and administration continue to address core issues of advancement by setting specific goals to create a model for self-reform. Provost Dr. Robert Palazzo and President Shirley Ann Jackson support the work and goals of RAMP-Up and in March 2007, Dr. Palazzo launched the program stating, “Rensselaer is well-situated to address issues associated with women’s advancement to the senior ranks.” As Co-Principal Investigator on the RAMP-Up project, he also acknowledged “ Under President Jackson’s leadership, the Institute has seen the number of women in our faculty increase by 29 % since 2001, with a growth of 33% at the senior level." The Provost believes this program is committed to a broader goal of reinforcing Rensselaer’s firm commitment to maximize the potential of each and every faculty member on campus.
