Broadening Horizons in Action
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee (EDI)
Members of different universities and other organizations have come together to sit on the newly struck Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Action Committee.
The committee will continue to discuss ways that Science Atlantic might support Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives in the region. Learn more about what has been accomplished to date and how you can get involved.
Academic Service Workshops
On March 29, 2021, we gathered three panelists from Science Atlantic Member Institutions to discuss topics regarding academic service. Read more about our first webinar here. This session was repeated in September, and more webinars are being planned.
