2016 Transforming Undergraduate STEM EducationBoston, MA, Nov 3-5, 2016
I attended the 2016 Transforming Undergraduate STEM Education: Implications for 21st-Century Society in Boston, November 2016.
The Thursday afternoon TIDES workshop was reserved for the recipients of the AAC&U grant for the retention of underrepresented students in Computer Science and related fields. Computer Science, Engineering and Stats & Data Science at Smith are one of the recipients. The workshop organizer was Dr. Diana Kardia of the Kardia Group. Her bio reads:
Dr. Kardia is a leadership development expert who provides coaching, consultation and training for STEM academics on departmental climate, strategic planning, and organizational culture. She has two decades of practical experience working in higher education, solving the most vexing and important challenges facing faculty, staff, and administrators. The first hour of our workshop will include time for community updates and networking. The rest of time will feature a dynamic presentation by Dr. Kardia, with time for questions and answer.
