Equity and Recruitment

2023-11-03 18:19:59 UTC

We used to see equity in our programs as a point of pride, but have seen decline in our majors and in the diversity. We need to change to meet students where they at - it is a new generation, I want to get to know them.

Broken

2023-11-03 18:20:08 UTC

The horrible stories I'm seeing in the news are breaking me. I saw a 5 month old little girl passed away in Gaza the other day. I don't know how to keep thinking about mathematics while these things are going on.

2023-11-03 18:20:09 UTC

I want to see what others are doing to not only improve their own courses, but how they can help others in their departments do the same

I'd love to get ideas about building a sense of community in our math department. I think some students are slipping through the cracks due to not feeling like they really "belong." I'm hoping to provide support for those (and all) our students.

2023-11-03 18:21:52 UTC

For all students who deserve an outstanding education and the opportunity to grow and learn.

2023-11-03 18:21:52 UTC

"Change is hard" - how do you get faculty who have done things their way for decades to see that they need to change for the benefits of their students?

Ideas

2023-11-03 18:22:21 UTC

I mostly interested in generating ideas and seeing what other people/institutions are doing to support their underrepresented students. These students face all sorts of barriers that feel hard to overcome, so I'm hoping to get actionable ideas to try out!

It's one thing to identify a path to improvement, and it's another to locate the resources (human and financial) to take that path.

2023-11-03 18:22:23 UTC

2023-11-03 18:22:28 UTC

too many that think there is no problem

Resources

2023-11-03 18:22:29 UTC

I think I just don't have the resources to implement things that might have real impact. I don't know how to fix this -- my Provost denied us a hire this year

This is one of the first external workshops I have particpated in a while, so I look forward to connecting and reconnecting with fellow math colleagues. Aris may not remember me from his Howard days, but I remember him as an undergrad and from math conferences.

2023-11-03 18:23:07 UTC

How can we leverage strengths from other groups outside the university impacted by/impacting our work in higher education? (Stop duplicating and trying to reinvent the wheel ourselves.)

2023-11-03 18:23:07 UTC

I'm hoping that other faculty at the institutions represented in this meeting will be able to provide their input as well. Maybe the current attendees can use this time to create teams on their campus for this work to be effectively implemented.

2023-11-03 18:23:12 UTC

I don't think I'm skeptical, but I hope that we accomplish what we set out to do to the very best of our ability. This may sound vague, but I'll start general here and get more specific as we continue.
