Speakers Michael Turner and Patrick Mullen-Coyoy, University of Michigan
Track Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
Audience 5+ Years in Outreach Work
PRESENTATION INFORMATION (60 mins)
Strong trainings are essential for young professionals new to the field, so how can we ensure they leave onboarding prepared to face the choppy waters of college access and outreach? In this session, we walk through the model, mindsets, and materials the Michigan College Advising Corps uses to train and support our own flexibly resilient team. After reviewing our multimodal tools and touchpoints, we’ll then ask for your input on effectively bridging the gaps in knowledge and experience newcomers to your team might need. By the end of our time together, you will walk away with resources from ourselves and other participants to better support your team’s growth and professional development.

Audience First Years in Outreach Work
WORKSHOP INFORMATION (60 mins)
Diversifying the racial and cultural landscape of STEM fields must start with creating more inclusive and culturally-sustaining STEM education spaces and programming. So, what does culturally-sustaining STEM education look, sound, feel like? This is a question that we tackle at the Michigan Engineering Zone, a STEM outreach space in Detroit, home to three programs for middle and high school age students: FIRST Robotics, Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab, and NAF Future Ready Scholars. At PCC 2022, we’re looking to turn the Engineering Design Process on this problem and work in community to create and share innovative solutions across Michigan STEM educators.

Generations of Black families have engaged in “The Talk” – conversations centered on contemporary and historical events, ways to respond to racism, and cultural pride.

Engaging, Managing, and Bonding through Race (EMBRace) Program helps Black parents and children confront and resolve racial stress and trauma together.
