As a learning community, we believe in coming together to stimulate interactions among faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends, from across departments and UT. These events are a chance to explore big challenges and our role as a STEM community.
In New Equations, our current series offered each long semester, CNS and its partners invite authors and thought leaders to campus for conversations at the intersection of science and identity. This series is aligned with the college’s strategic commitment to lifting up stories and context from our disciplines to help advance a climate where all of our members feel safe, supported and seen—the essence of belonging.
