11:00 to 11:25 am: International Student Update 2020: COVID and Social Unrest Experiences

Barbara Kappler, Assistant Dean, International Student and Scholar Services

This presentation will discuss key points from the experience and impacts on international students and the University of Minnesota due to COVID-19 disruptions and the social unrest in the Twin Cities in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder. There are more than 5,000 international students and 1,500 international scholars from more than 130 world locations at the University of Minnesota.

11:25 to 11:55 am: Empowering Women in Science (EWIS): Taking Action to Advocate For and Support Women in STEM during COVID Times and Beyond

Tori Osinski, Postdoctoral Fellow Pediatrics Department Center for Immunology & EWIS Steering Committee Member

Katie Murphy, Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology & EWIS Steering Committee Member

In a variety of STEM disciplines, women face gender-specific challenges that inhibit both retention and advancement in their fields. Representation of women in STEM research drops with career advancement,and resources to advocate for and support women are lacking. The COVID pandemic has disproportionately affected women generally, and this is also specifically seen in the STEM research realm. The presentation will review selections of EWIS’s knowledge about and proposed solutions to improving the experience of women in STEM.

11:55 to 12:00 pm: Conclusion of DDDD Day 1

 

Day 2 broadens the notion of data and experiments with connecting DEI work in addressing the impacts of the two pandemics with a well-being model, mental health as it affects students with marginalized identities, and exploratory healing spaces for the BIPOC community on campus.
