While scientists and engineers are routinely praised for contributions to the research community, it is also important to recognize their valuable contributions to public policy and service. The ability to involve, engage, and serve the public can have a significant impact on research strategies, federal research priorities and funding, and educational strategies to insure future generations of STEM researchers.
A panel of STEM researchers will discuss their service to government agencies and non-profits, share strategies for engaging the public to advance and inform research agendas, and demonstrate how passion for science is changing the landscape of STEM education. This discussion will encourage participants to think about the potential for public policy in their research today and throughout their careers.
This panel is co-sponsored by the Graduate School Office of Professional Development (OPD).
Lunch will be provided and pre-registration is required.
Date: Friday, February 13
Time: 11:30a m – 1:00pm
