Celebrating the Small Victories: Reflection on the Journey
2022 Southern PIC MeetingJune 1-3, 2022 |Towson, MD
About the PIC Meeting
As part of the Inclusive excellence project, HHMI has organized grant recipients into regional groups or Peer Implementation Clusters (PICs). This year the TU REP program is hosting the annual South PIC meeting for HHMI participants from Radford University, Virginia Tech, and Trinity Washington University, as well as HHMI Inclusive Excellence program directors. The focus of the meeting is celebrating the small victories and reflecting on the journey of building capacity for inclusion and equity for all students in STEM. In addition to this, we will discuss our challenges to sustain these efforts of promoting inclusion and equity at our respective institutions as we approach the final year of our funding.
