The NSF-AGEP RUA Professional Conference 2022 at Caltech!
The NSF-AGEP RUA Professional Conference is held every year and is hosted by one of the participating institutions.
The conference will feature opportunities for cross-institutional exchange and professional development between doctoral students, alumni, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and professional scientists from the participating universities.
The goal of the 2022 conference is to create a vibrant, connected community of RUA grad students and postdocs and provide safe spaces to discuss and learn about tough topics facing underrepresented academics. Topics we expect to address include managing service and outreach as faculty, dealing with the URM tax, being the only one in your department, building a support network, etc. Each of these learning spaces will be built to maximize interaction among participants and opportunities to build mentoring networks. We have experienced, engaging facilitators from multiple RUA institutions.
