materialsfrom marketing, digital advertising boards, and laboratories are used in the seminar, here we usetwo more general STEM images for illustrative purposes. Early in the seminar, participantsreceive brief instruction on important components of image analysis. Obvious observations ofwho is represented in an image and who is not (based on assumed visible difference - usuallyalong lines of gender, race, visible (dis)ability, among others) are important, but critical analysispushes beyond this. We encourage participants to identify what elements or people are centrallylocated in the visual field and which are situated at the periphery, and to take note of lighting andshadowing, focus and blurred features, and the camera angle, as these techniques are

Diversity and Inclusion and Research Partnership Development: Can Seed Investments Really Help Promote Trans-Institutional Collaborations?AbstractA major research institute within a large land-grant university seeks to foster collaborationsbetween research faculty at the land-grant institution and faculty and students at HistoricallyBlack Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). Not only isthe intent to help initiate and foster these research collaborations, but to advise HBCUs/MSIsstudents of the myriad of opportunities available to them to include experiential learningopportunities, undergraduate and graduate laboratory access, summer research programs,available scholarships and exposure to the graduate

. A recent chapter in the book “Changing the Face of Engineering” entitled, “SocializingAfrican American Females into Academic Careers: The Case of the Cross-Disciplinary Initiativefor Minority Women Faculty” presented a case study of a group of faculty in which theparticipants learned a variety of skills including time and laboratory management in addition tothe “unwritten rules” required for career success (Leggon and Barabino, 2015).We could spend a great deal of time defining the problem and assigning blame. There have beenplenty of excellent studies focused on framing the critical historical, climate and economic issuesin the past (National Research Council, 2006; 2010; Committee on Gender Differences inCareers in Science, Engineering

enables her to combine a deep understanding of scientific principles with the ability to tell a compelling story to communicate the scientific and potential societal impact of individual research projects. Her targeted campaigns raise the perceived stature of the organization and lead to successful institutional fundraising. After graduating from Williams College with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and French, Thuy earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Hawaii. In her early career, she was a research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and held management positions in several engineering firms, including CH2M HILL, Lockheed Martin, and Los Alamos Technical Associates. While pursuing her
