Working Group Synthesis

Working groups in the afternoon & one big idea shared included:

• Infusing DEI in geoscience programs
  • Appoint members of DEI committee into other committees so DEI is infused across program work & burden of DEI work moves into all committees
• Navigating institutional change, shrinking institutions and program positioning
  • Showcase strengths both program specific & those addressing institutional goals. 
  • Be proaoctive with change, embrace the opportunity & infuse DEI. 
• Scenarios
  • Programs are at various stages of developing structures & processes to establish for hiring. There are opportunities to learn from those further in the process about what is working & not working. 
• Supporting Graduate Students
  • Address stipend inequities & create workforce supports for students (e.g. how to write grants)
