STEM Diversity Requirement and Minor

Hi all,

In class today, I talked about a proposal I am putting together to get pre-med, pre-vet, pre-dental, and any other pre-professional STEM individual or STEM major to have a Diversity, Inequality, and STEM Ethics requirement. I will post the little blurb about our purpose as well as the link here for you to join if you are interested in providing more information and/or want to share!

“Purpose: This document is here to compile a list of resources, references, courses, and ideas on how to structure a Diversity, Inequality, and STEM Ethics requirement for all STEM majors to ensure the acknowledgment of the history of STEM and the various consequences of its applications to prevent discrimination, marginalization, exploitation, and ostracization of those who are impacted by the next generation of STEM professionals.”

Furthermore, for any student, there is a new Science Communication and Public Engagement minor that just opened this January. I am a senior and will be able to graduate with the minor. The faculty are understanding for upperclassmen who are interested. I will link the website here. Sorry for digressing from the original theme of this course, but I thought I would share it in case anyone is interested!
