Santa Clara University hosted Dr. Bryan Dewsbury from the University of Rhode Island on Monday, October 12th and Tuesday, October 13th as he engaged the SCU Community on Inclusive teaching strategies as well as efforts within STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math). 

We are thrilled that he came (virtually) to Santa Clara University at a time when many of us are examining our own practices and seeking to do better to support all of our students. Many within the community joined us for the opportunity to explore strategies to teach inclusively and engage students to guide their success.  Please refer below for the recording of the Plenary and related materials.
