She is a PI on another of the GOLD projects. Also, Kelly Mack, the person moderating the webinar in the original email, was one of the mentors for the PIs on all of the GOLD projects. I plan on submitting a proposal for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence program: https://www.hhmi.org/sites/default/files/programs/inclusive/ie3-program-announcement-final.pdf I hope that some of you will consider using this as a way to be active in DEI work at your institutions. _____________________________________________ P.

Kelly Mack is a key part of this project. Below are details about a webinar focused on some of their most recent findings that she is moderating, in case any of you are interested - there is certainly overlap with the work many of us are doing. (Check whether your institute is a member of AAC&U to make the webinar free - most universities are). I hope you are all doing well! Bec (now working with and learning from one of these HHMI Inclusive Excellence projects at the University of Puerto Rico - Humacao) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: AAC&U Webinars > Date: Wed, May 15, 2019 at 11:10 AM Subject: Reminder: Upcoming Webinar, Excellence: A Critical Examination of Accountability To: > To view this email as a web page, go here [AACU] Association of American Colleges & Universities A Voice and a Force for Liberal Education [Excellence: A Critical Examination of Accountability] Webinar: Excellence: A Critical Examination of Accountability Thursday, May 30, 2019 2:00 p.m. EDT We remind you to join our upcoming webinar, ?Excellence: A Critical Examination of Accountability," on Thursday, May 30, at 2:00 p.m. (EDT). Today, the demand for global competitiveness in undergraduate science education is situated within a shifting sociopolitical context that is increasingly made complex by the troubling history of race relations in America. This contemporary reality requires that we boldly embrace a more dynamic conceptualization of excellence in undergraduate science education?one that advances innovation and rightfully positions inclusion as its necessary precondition. This shift must begin with a set of standards, or agreements, that releases us from the conventional workaround approaches that we have become so accustomed to. Collectively, our Agreements for Excellence point toward far more daring shifts in institutional change strategies that can design, create, and support a new institutional stance for undergraduate science education?predisposing and positioning it, and the STEM faculty within it, to hold themselves accountable for desiring, fostering, recognizing, and requiring the actions and outcomes that are quintessential for inclusion and indistinguishable from excellence. This webinar will outline the most recent work of the AAC&U Inclusive Excellence Commission?the evaluative partner of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence Initiative. Members of the commission will present their Agreements for Excellence in undergraduate science education, as well as critically examine the most salient challenges limiting higher education?s capacity to cultivate and harness scientific creativity from the widest possible range of perspectives, worldviews, and disciplinary expertise. Webinar attendees can expect to be actively engaged not only in the iterative work of understanding the Agreements for Excellence, but also in critically examining and critiquing their suitability and overall utility in reforming undergraduate science education at all institutional types. Members of the commission will also share their insights and perspectives on the impact of the HHMI Inclusive Excellence Initiative on national undergraduate STEM reform. There will be time for Q&A during the webinar, and we encourage participants to send questions in advance to webinars at aacu.org. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording will be available online 72 hours after the webinar ends. Webinar Details Date: May 30, 2019 Time: 2:00?3:00 p.m. EDT Cost: Free for AAC&U members; $200 for nonmembers Check your institution?s membership status here.
