For Women in STEM

Resilient Teaching & Learning Resources
Resources to help you keep teaching and learning in times of disruption can be found on the Instructional Continuity website.
Building an Antiracism Community
It is essential to invest time and resources to advance substantive change by dismantling the racist structures that frame the work within the College of Science & Engineering (CoSE). The scientific, psychological, and pedagogical expertise of the college is diminished by our failure to recognize and reject our own complicity in individual, cultural and institutional racism. Our CoSE Task Force for Antiracism, created in 2020, developed goals with accountability benchmarks to dismantle racist structures and ensure that CoSE steadfastly and successfully pursues the vision of institutionalizing an antiracism structure comprised of policies, practices, and commitment to execute the mission of creating an antiracist culture and building an inclusive community.
