Conference
Cultivating Ambassadors of Color for ISU
Author
- Katrina Williams (Iowa State University)
Abstract
What does it take to make the graduate student experience at Iowa State University positive for scholars of color? Knowing that not every master’s or doctoral student will choose to take a position and stay at Iowa State, how do we create an experience about which graduates will brag (and hopefully encourage other students to come to ISU)? While academics are important, what other elements are central to a positive experience? This panel of current master’s and doctoral students will talk about their experiences and expectations. We will offer questions to get the dialogue started but the audience will be encouraged to add to the conversation.
