This interactive workshop includes strategies to inclusively broaden your teaching impact and contribute to increased STEM diversity. The long-term goal of the NU-SCI/HHMI Inclusive Excellence Program is to make our science classrooms more welcoming and to enhance student success, particularly historically marginalized students, through evidence-based teaching and mentoring strategies. Opportunities for continued learning will be available at our NU-SCI Teaching Circles, held monthly during the semester. NU-SCI is supported by an award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
