Support Isabella's new-found interest and enthusiasm! See if Isabella is interested in sharing these ideas with the Math Club or other groups on campus. If so, make arrangements for her to be able to share, support her in preparing for these talks, and be there to listen! If she is not comfortable doing this, I would ask her to help me prepare information that I can give out to others - what does she wish she knew, what info is important to give out - and importantly, ask her to give feedback on my materials/presentation so I can improve how this information gets into more hands.

Frustrated because my undergraduate institution’s answer would’ve been to ask Isabella to start a student organization centered on this topic. But the work should not be on her. How should Isabella respond?

Ask her to help you find ways to advertise REUs to students.  Find ways to disseminate the info to ALL students in the department (listserv, message board, etc.)  Maybe she's willing to do a talk about what an REU is and what she learned (maybe not).

my undergraduate mentor, she is a Latina mathematician and she is how I learned about research, REUs, grad school, conferences... and the reason I even had this conversation with her was because IN CLASS, in my linear algebra class I took as a sophomore, she told us "All you math majors, especially you Latina math majors--come talk to me so I can help you learn how to make the most of your time here" - if it wasn't for her taking 5 minutes at the beginning of the first day of class to say something, I don't know if I would even be in grad school right now

I know this doesn't directly answer the prompt, but felt it was important to share

# data[].attributes.body
If I’m a faculty member in this scenario, I would try to institute programming/workshops/events geared towards Latinx students (perhaps event can be advertised through Latinx student groups) to help disseminate this information and motivate it well.

Isabella will know better than I do about how her peers get information. What would be the best way for them to hear about these? Maybe the department can have an “undergraduate opportunities” board with postings of things coming up. Another possibility is a department info session where students can learn about things that are going on!

as a white, senior faculty member, I would take their lead on what to bring into my classrooms as well ... cosign public statements ... etc ... and (if desired) help with finding ways to do so in a way that's protected by academic freedom / the institutions written commitments to DEI

There should be a balance of letting her carry out her passionate about advocating for other latines in math, but also not having her be overwhelmed with DEI work, especially as someone who DEI work should be done for in the first place! Maybe the best is to ask her what she wants to do and what type of support she needs, in particular that from professors and the department

Get faculty in my department to share these opportunities with their students and possibly organize a workshop about what REUs are, how to find the right one for yourself, and highlight the experiences of students who have had (positive) experiences with them.

Idea #1: organize a (yearly?) workshop in the department for undergrad students to learn about REUs and other math activities happening in the department.

Idea #2: very simple, but could display the posters of students who have gone to REUs (if they have posters) in the halls, just to give visibility to the fact that this is something students are doing

Mention all upcoming REU deadlines (undergrad conferences/ opportunities)  that you are aware of. Better yet -- put links to websites online on the board. For extra brownie points work on your "approachability" as we mentioned yesterday and encourage them to talk to you in office hours (or by appt) about it.

I am the Director of Faculty Research and Development at my university, so I plan to give a workshop about what I’ve learned at this workshop and share the resources.  I’m already sure that my office will approve and fund it :)  I believe there is interest on campus, so hopefully it’ll be well attended.

Just a related experience: in graduate school, at one point there was a compulsory DEI training for the whole department, and while it's better than nothing, just making such a training compulsory doesn't necessarily mean people will take it seriously, or really participate, or challenge their worldview

I'm shocked, can the president of a university do this?

This is the moment when you find out what you are made of. Will you stand with your colleague or not?

Is the President even allowed to do this? There's nothing political about extending support to students who may need it after someone in their community (physical or identity-wise) has been hurt or murdered. I am confused on why this is an issue at all... maybe because I'd be the one ignoring orders

This is very precarious; as a junior faculty, the more pragmative thing is for the person to consider getting tenure, as we all know, systems aren't always fair and most change-makers or pushers pay dearly. The case of prof Amarasekare is apt here
