Be part of the Compassionate STEM Education community!
We are building a community of faculty who develop and implement compassionate teaching practices. We offer workshops where we assist STEM faculty to foster a compassionate learning environment for their classes and integrate the character of compassion into their curricula. We guide participants together through a series of community-building events, such as online discussion boards, reading groups, speaker series, and cross-institutional virtual gatherings, so that we can learn from and support each other while infusing STEM classes with a compassionate mindset.
Who can participate?
Do you teach in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) fields (broadly defined)? If so, you are invited to apply. Participants who complete the program as described on the website will receive a $1000 stipend.
Learn more by visiting Compassionate STEM. It takes 10 minutes to apply. Applications accepted through September 17th .
The fall program begins on September 24th.
