Announcements
Dr. Corbin Campbell, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, and Dr. Brian L. McGowan, Associate Professor, received $697,000 in funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to study equity-based teaching at the college level. SOE received the 18-month grant, along with Florida International University and the University of Connecticut, to work on a playbook for adopting equity-based teaching. Focused on teaching outcomes for Black, Latinx, Indigenous students and those from low-income backgrounds in college, their concept paper was titled “Reconceptualizing College Teaching for Equitable Student Outcomes: A Strategic Focus on Equity-Based Teaching and the Systemic Levers that Support Broad-Scale Change.”
