SUMMARY:AARMS Seminar: EDI in STEM with Dr. Lisa Willis
DESCRIPTION:While EDI has become an often referred to issue in academia and society\, it remains a challenging topic to discuss\, especially for people in STEM fields. Fear of making a mistake or not knowing what to say results in people disengaging from the conversation. Additionally\, the multitude of initiatives and obligations in the EDI space\, few of which seem to be making a real difference\, is leading to EDI fatigue. In this talk\, we will discuss how we as imperfect people can create meaningful sustainable change for ourselves and for the people around us. \nDr. Willis received her B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Victoria and Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology in the lab of Dr. Chris Whitfield at the University of Guelph. She did her postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Mark Nitz in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto\, where she received the prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship. In 2019\, she started as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta\, where she is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology. She is also the founder of InclusiveSTEM\, a literature-based and data-driven framework for improving the participation and lived experiences of people from marginalized groups in STEM. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83234913058?pwd=SFRHcS9SUGpXT09ueHUzY0h6SFpzdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 832 3491 3058 \nPasscode: 721065

SUMMARY:2024 Integration Competition
DESCRIPTION:The Integration Competition (held 4 times in the past at this university\, funded by AARMS)\, is a head-to-head competition\, in which all first-year calculus students are eligible to compete. Integrals of increasing difficulty are projected\, and two students work head to head\, to solve it first. The winner moves on\, and the other student is eliminated. This process moves through successive rounds until only 2 students are left\, solving a challenging problem in integration. This generates excitement about mathematics among first year students\, aids in recruitment of students to the mathematics major program\, and provides motivation for students to engage more deeply with the curriculum in first-year calculus. This event will also serve as an outreach opportunity to connect first-year students with upper-year students\, and to discuss opportunities available to math students.
