Friday, February 5th to Saturday, February 6th The 2021 Triton Leaders Conference will center around Advancing Equity, an important and necessary focal point during this period of deep civil unrest and movement for change. UC San Diego, through research, teaching, learning and service, is committed to dismantling the structural and behavioral norms that perpetuate injustice and systemic inequality. We are excited to utilize this year’s conference to share updates on how the Triton community is fulfilling this important equity work—both on and off campus. Through conference keynote addresses, sessions and discussion breakouts, we hope to create further understanding, inspire meaningful dialogue and empower our community to take action in advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion. There will be breakout sessions including, but not limited to: - Activism: The Intersection of Environmental and Social Justice - Breaking Boundaries in Improving Access through Mentorship - Closing the Equity Gap: Landing Your First Job and Finding a Career Mentor - From Sea to Stars: Women Breaking Ground in Scientific Exploration - Trailblazing Women in STEM For more information, click here.

Argonne National Laboratory, home to state-of-the-art facilities such as the Advanced Photon Source (APS) and the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS), attracts researchers from across the globe and propels numerous scientific discoveries impacting our nation and world. Our professional scientists, engineers, and researchers are exploring scientific solutions to numerous real-world challenges from testing and improving cybersecurity protection, to developing alternative fuel sources, to advancing the potential of artificial intelligence. As a world-renowned national laboratory, Argonne strives to advance the future of science by creating educational pathways for the next generation of STEM leaders. Hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students utilize our diverse internship opportunities each year. We look forward to sharing information during Industry Day on Argonne’s amazing internship programs, and how they make a positive difference in students’ STEM journeys and careers. This event will include an internship presentation from Argonne’s University Student Programs staff, as well as a panel of student alumni to share their experience and growth as Argonne interns. Register for the event here. The UC Wide Ad Hoc Committee on Disability Accessibility is officially launching subcommittees that will work on specific issues affecting students with disabilities. This subcommittee seeks to increase access to opportunities for disabled students in STEM, remove barriers to access within the UC STEM curriculum and resources, provide support and advocacy to disabled students in STEM, and work to increase professional development opportunities for students in STEM. You can read more about our subcommittee, as well as the other subcommittees in the flyer below.
They are hoping to have at least one representative from each of the UC campuses as well as graduate/professional school representatives. They want to highlight disabled students’ voices, please make it known that allies are welcome to join the subcommittee. To join the subcommittee, fill out this form. If you have further questions about the STEM subcommittee, contact committee heads Katie Bogue (email: [email protected] Call/text: 617-817-7801) or Lauren Anding ([email protected]) or copresidents, [email protected] and [email protected] Hello Grads & Post Docs,

The Student Success Center in the Division of Physical Sciences has partnered with Dr. Dontarie Stallings to host a webinar called "Organizing and Management of Inclusive Groups" as the second of a three-part Diversity in STEM series. This session will facilitate a discussion on the effect of lack of demographic equitable representation that exists throughout most STEM fields and is inconsistent with a drive towards inclusive excellence, that is necessary to recruit talent from the entirety of our population. It also runs counter to the academic case for diversity, which argues for the causal relationship between diversity and success in research teams. Our recommendations represent a flexible road map that, if adopted, can lead to a climate that attracts and retains diverse, inclusive and excellent talent in academia. Zoom link and registration page can be found here. Read more about our panelist here. Thursday, November 12th from 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
