Teamwork is integral to engineering—in the classroom and in the workplace—but it is also one of the most challenging tasks.
Teams sometimes hit roadblocks because of different perspectives, styles, identities, or lived experiences. What happens when questions of equity, diversity and inclusion are the cause of these roadblocks?
Join us for facilitated small-group activities led by trained peers who will guide you through a series of questions to reflect on your experiences and brainstorm ideas for future supports. There will be time for larger group sharing at the end.Dinner will be provided for those who register before the deadline!
