Broadening Horizons

What is Broadening Horizons?

In 2020, we spoke with Atlantic Canadian faculty about their experiences in the post-secondary STEM community. From these conversations we were able to gain insights into:

  • what contributes to role satisfaction,
  • what challenges faculty are facing, and
  • what motivates faculty to get involved in associations.

     

Results from the Broadening Horizons project were presented at the 2020 Annual Members Meeting (AMM), where breakout groups brainstormed ways to act on the results.

Now, we are looking for your help to develop activities that will build on these ideas and expand our ability to advance post-secondary science education and research in Atlantic Canada.
