How do we share our work with others?

Each year that St. Olaf’s had an Inclusive Excellence Summit we presented.

In the fall of 2023, we presented and engaged with an audience of educators and researchers from around the country at the American Association of Colleges and Universities “Transforming STEM” Conference in Washington D.C. The title of our presentation was “Nothing About Us Without Us: The role of a STEM student action team in welcoming student voices into DEI efforts.“

We have met several times with Faculty and Students from Furman University as they established their HHMI funded STEM Ambassador program.

We meet each semester with the Natural Science and Math Associate Dean and Department Chairs to directly communicate what events are coming up and the initiatives we have planned. Student Action Team Department Representatives also may attend department faculty meetings to provide updates.

We collect the feedback we receive at our engagement events from students about their STEM experiences and summarize that information in an Annual NSM Action Team Report. This captures and summarizes the feedback students have shared at our engagement events and is distributed to faculty early each spring.
