SEASON 4 EPISODES
EPISODE 24: Inclusive Engineering Outreach with Kathy Renzetti
This episode is a conversation with Kathy Renzetti, Executive Director of DiscoverE. Just in time for Engineers Week 2022, we speak about the need to remove barriers so ALL students have the opportunity to engage in engineering, the impacts of having STEM professionals engage in K-12 outreach, and flipping the script on the questions we ask regarding student success.
Visit DiscoverE online to access or contribute resources for K-12 engineering outreach and engagement.

EPISODE 25: Getting Ready for Advanced Degrees (GRAD) with Dr. Marcus Huggans
This episode is a conversation with Dr. Huggans, Executive Director of Client Relations for the National GEM Consortium. We speak about GEM's rich history in increasing the numbers of scholars from traditionally marginalized racial and ethnic identities earning degrees in STEM, the importance of mentoring and social capital, and the benefits of being part of the GEM family.

EPISODE 26: Soapbox: The Truth about ABET
There are a lot of misconceptions about ABET, and this "Soapbox" episode sets out to correct some of them. In particular, we talk about opportunities to innovate in engineering curricula in a way that meets ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) criteria requirements and advances justice, equity, diversity and inclusion by teaching students to be more equitable and inclusive engineers. After an overview, we focus this episode on student outcomes related to communication and teams.
Visit ABET's website to learn more about accreditation criteria and check out my PE Magazine article on how DEI shows up in engineering accreditation criteria.

EPISODE 27: NSF AGEP Alliances: Beacons for Equity in the STEM Professoriate Part I
The National Science Foundation’s (NSF's) Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program funds teams of institutions that work together to identify, mitigate, and ultimately eradicate, systemic barriers to success for STEM faculty from racially and ethnically minoritized identities while studying, disseminating, and reproducing those strategies to produce large-scale, sustainable change. This episode features current and past participants in conversations about AGEP program impacts on their success.
Visit the NSF AGEP website to learn more about the program, and if you are part of the AGEP community, join us in Corpus Christi on November 2-4, 2022 for the AGEP 2022 National Research Conference, where we'll be "Making Waves to Advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the STEM Professoriate."
EPISODE 28: NSF AGEP Alliances: Beacons for Equity in the STEM Professoriate Part II
This is a continuation of our conversation from Episode 27, where we introduced current and past participants in conversations about the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. In this episode, we discussed the importance of institutional change and the scholars shared their advice for program officers and project leaders on programmatic strategies for advancing equity in the STEM professoriate and for new and prospective scholars on how to thrive as graduate students, postdoctoral scholars or early career faculty members.
