Expanding HHMI Biology FEST: Faculty Empowering Students in Transformations
The overarching goal of the effort is to cultivate our upper division biology major students of color – African American, Black, Latino/a, Native American, Filipino/a, and Pacific Islander students – as leaders, role models, and partners with biology faculty in transforming upper division biology learning environments. These student of color leaders, which will include majority first-generation college-going and transfer students, will participate directly in reform efforts as: 1) in-classroom peer learning assistants and near-peer mentors, 2) co-developers of classroom equity and diversity curricular interventions, 3) co-researchers in assessing the impacts of these efforts, and 4) culturally knowledgeable resources for faculty understanding of the student perspective.
