| Abstract: | OPTYCs, The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges, will implement its inaugural DEI Immersive Discussion Program beginning January 2024. In this two-year program, participants will be guided through a series of activities in a two-day in-person immersive discussion to center students in DEI-effective practices. Participants will then implement strategies to better their classroom environments during the first year of the program, supported by peer mentoring and virtual workshops. Participants will be invited to a one-day training and dissemination reunion workshop in January 2025. During year two of the program, this first cohort will act as mentors to the second cohort, while disseminating their learning and strategies as a DEI-friend in their communities (academic units, institutions, local groups); we will continue to provide mentoring support virtually during this phase of the program. Applications for this program will open July 2023, and all interested two-year college faculty who teach physics-related courses are invited to apply. OPTYCs, including this program, is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2212807. |
