We’ve launched a new event series that aims to increase Awareness, Collaboration and Engagement (ACE), and advance Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) efforts in the Faculty of Science.
Our third event in the ACE EDI series will feature guest speaker Bryan Dewsbury. He will be discussing the social factors that impact the ability of students to be their best selves in the STEM classroom. He will also talk about the strategies for mitigating these contingencies and the impacts of those strategies on student performance.
