Math Department Town Hall

Our department is engaged in a two-year project “Creating Opportunities in Mathematics through Equity & Inclusion (COME-IN)” through the professional organization Transforming Post Secondary Education in Mathematics (TPSE). Our consultant, Dr. Kevin Palencia Infante, is visiting our department from Northern Illinois University and he will work together with our math department with the purpose of enhancing efforts to broaden participation and inclusion. In this role, he will provide an external perspective, drawing on his experience and background to support the department in shaping and implementing its plan. In this Town Hall we will provide a short “State of our Department” and introduce the COME-IN project and our initial plans.

Speakers will include Craig Guilbault, Suzanne Boyd, Jeb Willenbring and Gabriella Pinter. We aim for a lively discussion with our audience through a question/answer session.
