Join ProCES, CST, and the McGraw Center for a half-day event focused on achieving broader impacts through community-engaged teaching in STEM courses. The event will feature a keynote address by Davida Smyth, Associate Professor of Biology at Texas A&M and leader of Smyth Lab, and a discussion with professor Dan Notterman about his ProCES course, MOL 460/STC 460/GHP 460 Diseases in Children: Causes, Costs, and Choices. The program will conclude with a “workshop” lunch, in which participants will have the opportunity to explore how they might incorporate a range of enhancements such as community-based research, citizen science, guest speakers, or site visits into their own courses to meet the broader impacts requirements for their grants.
