Michigan Institute for Research in Astrophysics Presents: "Conversations on Inclusion and Equity"

“Building Opportunities at the Center for Astrophysics”

In this conversation, I will describe programs I have helped organize and build at the Center for Astrophysics. The programs provide opportunities for underserved populations of minoritized students at the undergraduate and graduate level. I will focus on the design of these programs from building partnerships with external organizations to the day-to-day programmatic aspects. I will touch on practices that have and have not worked, with specific focus on those practices that help build and strengthen a student's STEM identity.

Please note: Should you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event please contact Nicholle Cardinal at ndcard@umich.edu.
