EL Alliance August 14th
From Computational Cell Biology
RRAR List serve hosted by Michael; 1 note to those who attended, 2nd note to those who didn't
Symposium is an idea that is coming together:
Invite people to be part of committee to organize symposium in some capacity including advising. Send to Tapia- experience as organizers, Undergraduate focused seminar and invite others to come.
Notes:
Computer Science group- higher education focused. Thoughts were to bring students together for a symposium focused on students across universities perhaps lead by ELA (IEEE, ACM chapters-meets periodically at MIT-not sure size). Tim Hickey is going to host a computer science chairs meeting and introduce meeting in the context of a chairs meeting.
Bring K-12 students on campus.
Strategies for inclusion were disucssed that people are already involved in.
How to go to grad school: Has graduate opportunities for people in computing. REU's
K-12 Bring college kids to K-12 campuses with a focus on advising rather than guest speaking. Tufts has a program like this.
Take a kid/parent to school.
Undergraduate advising and community building: Student symposium across universities to support students meeting each other and graduate students and advisors.
