ADVANCE - Purdue and the Center for Faculty Success

Work-Life Balance

ADVANCE-The Work-Life/Balance Policy event is a venue to facilitate networking and information sharing regarding work-life balance issues and policies. We will be focusing on Family leave (including parental/maternity leave), tenure clock extension, and childcare policies. Participants are invited to share their experiences with Purdue’s work-life policies and programs and provide suggestions for improvements. Our overarching goal is to enhance/promote an environment conducive to faculty success through family-friendly policies and programs.
