Title: A Seat at the Table: a dialogue on equity and inclusion in STEM
Speakers: Dr. Quin Capers IV, Dr. John H. Johnson, Dr. Anne-Marie Nunez, Dr. Marcela Hernandez
Description: Part of The Ohio State University’s 2020 Vision is to make the university a model of inclusive excellence. What does this look like in the STEM disciplines across our institution? We aim to have a dialogue about the barriers that inhibit persistence and success in STEM, particularly among under-represented minority, first-generation, low-income, and female students. Invited panelists will share their experiences effectively engaging and promoting the success of diverse student populations through inclusive educational practices, extra-curricular activities, and/or policies.
This event will feature a keynote by Dr. Quinn Capers, IV, Associate Dean of Admissions at The Ohio State University’s School of Medicine followed by a panel featuring representatives from various STEM fields at Ohio State whose work has helped to make STEM disciplines more accessible to under-represented minorities.The panel will be from 3:00pm-4:30pm followed by a networking reception from 4:30pm-6:00pm.
