Bovee UC | 123 Mackinaw

Audience: Faculty and Staff

This 2-hour interactive workshop encourages and equips all men to serve as effective allies for gender equity in STEM settings. To begin, we highlight Central Michigan University data on the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women as well as the importance of institutional climate. Next, we overview recent literature that helps explain why and how gender inequity occurs. Lastly, we introduce and develop concepts, vocabulary, actions, and practical skills to promote gender equity. The workshop is structured as an interactive conversation with opportunities to learn, ask questions, and practice skills through scenario-based exercises. This workshop will be led by Dr. Roger Green (Electrical and Computer Engineering, North Dakota State University) who has conducted Ally Workshops at universities throughout the country since 2009.

This workshop is sponsored by CMU’s NSF ADVANCE project. For more information, please contact Zachary Evans at evans1zr@cmich.edu.
