Goal statement
To increase awareness of unconscious bias and its impact on retention in technical environments. To encourage the development of Champions of Inclusion for our classrooms and labs.
Activity Description
We have three steps this year related to this initiative:
1. Catherine Ashcraft came to the IU campus to give talks on unconscious bias in technology environments.
2. We designed and implemented a "required for all" workshop for our 250+ teaching assistants. It is permanently in place for all new teaching assistants each semester.
3. We have a group of students developing an eBadge on this topic to be used in classrooms, training and more.
Progress On Activity
Ashcraft talk completed, fall 1014; Teaching Assistant workshops completed and now offered every semester for new hires; eBadge set to be completed by May 1
