Building a More Inclusive Department: A Case Study
Author
- Stephanie Wang (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This session will discuss a concerted effort by the ISU Mathematics Department to build a more inclusive department, with a focus on the graduate program. Strategies, successes, failures, and outcomes will be discussed. Although the Department won the 2015 American Mathematical Society Award for an Exemplary Program based in part on these efforts, such a project is never finished and challenges remain.
