This session features efforts to develop diversity and equity courses in STEM majors — in this case @AUBiology & @MathStatAU — in fulfillment of our goal to center diversity and equity across departmental and/or disciplinary divides.
Hey, fellow #AACUSTEM22 attendees: I hope you’ll add our session, “Integrating Diversity and Equity across the Curriculum: Examples in STEM,” to your schedule for Saturday. We’re on at 9:15-10:15AM in the Arlington & Fairfax Room.

"Munter had little knowledge of Dylan prior to the fellowship. She took Engert’s Complex Problems course—Justice, Morality, and the Law─as a freshman & was determined to work with her former professor. The program gave her that opening." american.edu/news/au-summer-…
Courses like Complex Problems & @AU_Experience help integrate first-year students into the university setting while teaching them how to navigate college, empower their curiosity, & foster nimble thinking in a quickly changing world. american.edu/news/au-core-cu…
