SUMMARY:48th Annual POD Network Conference
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us this year as we Envision the Future: Developing Equitable Opportunities for Success (Educational Developer success → Instructor success → Student success) at our institutions. The 48th annual POD Network conference envisions what the future of educational development might look like amid rapid changes in our lives\, institutions\, and societies. As educational developers\, we are in a unique position to influence the success of faculty\, students\, institutions\, and our own programs. By seeing our work through these multiple lenses\, we seek a more holistic view of how educational development (see POD definition of Educational Development) can drive and facilitate the ongoing pursuit of equity in higher education. \n\n\n\n\nThe Conference Team has been working to increase access to our conference\, and one of the most effective ways to do this is to again offer online and on-the-ground venues; this year in Pittsburgh. Both experiences will offer the same “session types”—workshops\, roundtables\, the keynote\, etc.—and provide opportunities for deep engagement with teaching and learning while interacting with fellow POD members. \n\n\n\n\nA new feature this year is a day of “hybrid” sessions that allow attendees in Pittsburgh and online to connect and learn together. The keynote speaker presentation will also be live streamed to virtual attendees. We are also offering a “dual venue” option: attend both Pittsburgh AND online conferences for a reduced rate. You will have the option to attend the online sessions as they are presented during the conference (November 14-17)\, or watch the session recordings at a later time. Sessions will be recorded upon the approval of the facilitators and made available for a period of time (TBD) after November 17.

SUMMARY:Championing an Equity-Focused Approach to Student Success at the Community College: Empowering Students and Faculty in STEM
DESCRIPTION:Santa Monica College\, in partnership with the California Community Colleges’ Success Network (3CSN)\, will be hosting \, an NSF-sponsored one-day virtual conference (#2231669) that focuses on practices in STEM aimed at closing equity gaps for historically marginalized communities\, including Black and Latinx students. This conference provides a platform to exchange ideas and knowledge\, and to highlight faculty innovations\, programs\, and student support services that promote equity and inclusion in STEM education. \nThe presenters will highlight projects\, guide workshops\, and illustrate practices they have used in progressing towards closing equity gaps. The attendees will gain knowledge in building a process to better understand the impact and effectiveness of equity-focused professional development. The conference will foster discussion around improving STEM education and motivate educators to develop equitable pedagogical and institutional practices centered on underrepresented and racially minoritized students. \nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Terrell R. Morton\, Assistant Professor of Identity and Justice in STEM Education and Scholar-Activist\, engages work that specifically looks at understanding how identity shapes students’ decision-making in postsecondary STEM and how\, through critical\, strengths-based frameworks\, we can re-envision the culture and context of STEM education.

Please feel free to drop in as your schedule allows. The book club dates are:\n\n\nTuesday\, May 2\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 1-3 | Terasaki Life Sciences 5100\nThursday\, May 11\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 4 & 5 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\nFriday\, May 19\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 6-8 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\nFriday\, May 26\, Noon – 1pm | Chapters 9 & 10 | Terasaki Life Sciences 1100\n\n\nTo RSVP for the May book club dates and book talk\, please click here.\n\nWe invite you to use the Discussion Guide as you read the book: DISCUSSION GUIDE | Heather McGhee.\n\nWe look forward to having you join us for this exciting visit.\n\nBest wishes\,\nTracy\n*************************************************\nTracy Johnson\nKeith and Cecilia Terasaki Presidential Endowed Chair\nProfessor\, Molecular\, Cell and Developmental Biology\nDean\, Life Sciences\, UCLA College\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Heather McGhee\nHeather designs and promotes solutions to inequality in America. Over her career in public policy\, Heather has crafted legislation\, testified before Congress and helped shape presidential campaign platforms. Her book The Sum of Us: WhatRacism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it\, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said\, “Required reading to move thecountry forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021. The paperback version will be out in February 2022. The Sum of Us will be adapted into a Spotify podcast by Higher Ground\, the production company of Barack and Michelle Obama in June 2022\, and into a young adult readers’ version by Random House Children’s in 2023.\n\nHeather is an educator\, serving currently as a Visiting Lecturer in Urban Studies at the City University of New York’s School of Labor and Urban Studies. She has also held visiting positions at Yale University’s Brady-Johnson Grand Strategy Program andthe University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. She is the recipient of honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College\, Niagara University\, and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.\n\nFor nearly two decades\, Heather helped build the non-partisan “think and do” tank Demos\, serving four years as president.Under McGhee’s leadership\, Demos moved their original idea for “debt-free college” into the center of the 2016 presidential debate\, argued before the Supreme Court to protect voting rights in January 2018\, helped win pro-voter reforms in five states over two years\, provided expert testimony to Congressional committees\, including a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2017\, and led the research campaigns behind successful wage increases for low-paid workers on federal contracts\, as well as at McDonalds\, Walmart and other chain retailers.\n\nAs an executive\, McGhee transformed Demos on multiple levels. She led a successful strategic planning and rebranding process. She designed a Racial Equity Organizational Transformation which led to an increase in staff racial diversity (from27 percent people of color to 60 percent in four years)\, an original racial equity curriculum for staff professional development and a complete overhaul of the organization’s research\, litigation and campaign strategies using a racial equity lens. McGhee also nearly doubled the organizational budget in four years. A strong coalition-builder and trustedcross-movement leader\, McGhee deepened Demos’ influence through new networks and collaborations inside and outside the Beltway.\n\nAn influential voice in the media and a former NBC contributor\, McGhee regularly appears on NBC’s Meet the Press andMSNBC’s Morning Joe\, Deadline White House and All In. Her 2020 TED talk is entitled “Racism Has a Cost for Everyone”.
