Graduate education is important for both individuals and society. It leads to higher earning potential, more job security, and better benefits. By 2018, 2.8 million jobs will require a graduate degree. While minority representation in faculty positions and graduate programs has increased in recent decades, there is still significant underrepresentation. Programs like the SREB Doctoral Scholars Program aim to increase diversity by providing financial and professional support to help more minorities earn PhDs and enter faculty careers. The annual Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute brings together over 1,000 scholars from across the country to support their development and recruitment into faculty positions.

Dall’inventario alle azioni: quali scenari, quale futuro?eAmbiente
Intervento di Gabriella Chiellino all'incontro organizzato dalla Provincia “Dall’inventario base delle emissioni comunali le azioni e gli sviluppi sul territorio”.
L’incontro è realizzato nell’ambito dell’accordo denominato “Patto dei Sindaci” e del progetto comunitario 20-20-20 finalizzati allo sviluppo di politiche antinquinamento e di risparmio energetico. Parteciperà all’incontro anche l’assessore alla Viabilità Emanuele Prataviera.
Obiettivo dell’incontro è rendere noti i dati raccolti fino ad oggi, tramite un apposito programma informatico, con un focus particolare sui 22 Comuni già aderenti al Patto dei Sindaci. I dati riveleranno la quantità di emissioni inquinanti nell’aria per ogni singolo comune, sia da strutture pubbliche, sia da traffico automobilistico locale.

STEM Students Abroad: Understanding their Motivations and ExperiencesCIEE
This session will focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students' motivations for studying abroad and the value of their experiences. With STEM fields underrepresented in study abroad, we hope to share student stories that encourage future STEM students to take the leap. Survey data from STEM student feedback will highlight: why STEM students study abroad, types of experiences, skills gained abroad for future careers or academic pursuits, perceived barriers to studying abroad, and ways to meet those challenges. Part of the session will focus on learning more about academic advisor perspectives on STEM students studying abroad, including benefits and challenges.
In this deck from the HPC User Forum, Kelly Gaither from TACC presents: The Computing4Change Program.
"Computing4Change is a competition empowering people to create change through computing.
The competition is for students from diverse disciplines and backgrounds who want to work collaboratively to:
* Learn to apply data analysis and computational thinking to a social challenge
* Experience the latest tools and techniques for exploring data through visualization
* Expand skills in team-based problem solving
* Learn how to communicate ideas more effectively to the general public

Fostering Connection to Support the Mental Health of Underserved StudentsMaria Candelaria
Explore the often overlooked aspects of student mental health on campus and ways in which higher education institutions can best support those most impacted.
Data-Driven Decision Making in Addressing Study Abroad BarriersCIEE
Data drives decision-making at the highest levels of institutional leadership. This session will use a case of one institution to explore how its global education center collaborates with its institutional research office to determine barriers to studying abroad and compete for campus resources. Using actual data, panelists will guide roundtable discussions on moving from anecdotal observations through data analysis to policy decisions by senior administrators. Information will be provided about how to work with data, what types of data your institutional research office can provide, and how a chief academic officer makes decisions on academic priorities and resource allocation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Many researchers have noted that the next 10 years are crucial, because all of the faculty hired in the 1950s and 1960s are finally retiring. And if we don’t make significant progress in diversity, given this hiring opportunity, we will have missed a real window of opportunity to replaced another generation of faculty on college and university campuses.
