The annual First to ADVANCE photography exhibit honors women faculty members at the University of Maryland who were the first to achieve a major professional milestone. In 2020, we honored women who were trailblazers within their field or disciplines. Although the in-person celebration was cancelled due to campus closure, we congratulate each of our 2020 ADVANCE Firsts recognized women faculty. View the 2020 First to ADVANCE portraits here.
