STEM Inclusion Summit

Wednesday, Oct. 18.

The Research for Inclusive STEM Education (RISE) Center is sponsoring the second annual STEM Inclusion Summit on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

The purpose of the summit is to convene the ASU community to learn about current research and initiatives related to diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM at ASU. All speakers are invited and there are opportunities for individuals to present their own research, teaching strategies, or initiative as either a poster or information booth! This is a great opportunity to get feedback on your work or initiative and to meet other like-minded folks at ASU.

Poster session submission

Do you conduct research on inclusive STEM education? Have you found a way to help students feel more like they belong in your science course? Do you run a program that helps support marginalized students in science? Register here to present your work as a poster at the STEM Inclusion Summit! Anyone is welcome to present: undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty.

Info booth registration

Do you run a program that helps support marginalized students in science? Are you part of a club that should be represented at a summit focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion? Do you have a grant that supports scholarships for underserved students? Register here for an information booth to help broaden awareness about your organization or initiative at the STEM Inclusion Summit.
