Fall 2024 Professional Development Week (PDW)

Come learn about the mathematicians, the doctors, the inventors, the engineers, innovators, artists, and activists who made an impact in so many different fields of study about whom the students in your classes should know. Come join us as we launch this organic project to determine the inspiring and too often forgotten national, regional, and local voices in American history across the disciplines—the sciences and the arts—whose examples can help us create a more equitable, welcoming, and inspiring culture for our students at our college and in our classrooms. We want to know more about the diverse leaders in American history because their words, ideas, actions, accomplishments, stories, and dreams made—and are continuing to make—an impact on the trajectory of our country. Help us to develop and grow the list—that we are only starting—of the too often forgotten Americans whom we should know in your disciplines that will inspire our students.
