Our Leadership Team
SF State Transforms is led by a faculty investigative team and staff from across the SF State campus. The leadership consists of a core management team, Internal Advisory Committee, Initiative Committees, and External and Internal Evaluators.
The ADVANCE Transforms Team is co-led by Dean Carmen Domingo, Dean of the College of Science and Engineering, and Professor Laura Mamo, Health Equity Institute Professor of Public Health and Director of the Health Equity Institute. Key decisions are made in consultation with our full co-investigative team of faculty who plan, implement, and evaluate the transforms activities.
