STEM Futures
The STEM Futures project was a week-long virtual design-studio workshop experience for faculty in STEM disciplines to collaboratively develop new programs and curriculum materials. The goal was to advance innovative visions for STEM education that go beyond the acquisition of core content knowledge to integrate mindsets and values. SERC helped design and facilitate the online workshop process hosted through our website.

National Institute for Faculty Equity
Minorities and women, minority women in particular, are underrepresented in academia, even more so in the STEM disciplines: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Members of these underrepresented groups represent an untapped resource. The National Institute for Faculty Equity seeks to address this persistent problem, in part by institutionalizing the professional development and career success of women and minorities in STEM. This website offers resources for underrepresented faculty in engineering, including presentations and from the Minority Faculty Development workshops and the Cross-Disciplinary Initiative for Minority Women Faculty conference. SERC hosts the project's materials as well as provided a web platform for project personnel to use for annual events.

Geoscience Education Infrastructure Planning Meeting
This meeting was an opportunity for invited education community members to discuss and make recommendations for the infrastructure that supports the geoscience education community, including the technical platform (Serckit) and the complementary suite of practices spanning from project management to community engagement. The result was a synthesis report that reflects the discussions and highlights a set of consensus recommendations.
