W2A.00001: Programmatic Innovations Sheila Kannappan In this workshop participants will discuss and plan innovations aimed at advancing equity and inclusion in their graduate programs.

This panel will discuss successful tactics (and a few that didn’t go over so well) to help all constituencies consider their role in improving graduate education. [Preview Abstract] |
