SACNAS (Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics & Native Americans in Science) is an organization that prides itself on being at the intersection of science, culture, and community. It was founded to address the lack of representation in STEM fields and has since evolved to be central to the representation of all cultures and underrepresented minorities across the board. We strive to provide a forum for students from different majors to come together for community, support, and resources at Penn State. Our goal as the chapter at Penn State is to get more involvement and members in the club and garner more recognition. Stay tuned for more information for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Beyond participation: Inclusive Perspectives on Student Engagement and Feedback
Explore inclusive teaching and active learning frameworks in order to develop practices and class policies that support student engagement in this two-part workshop. Student participation is undeniably desirable in any classroom, and yet it remains challenging to define its scope: how can we address the value of participation effectively and through an inclusive lens? Participants will leave with a cache of inclusive participation strategies and a draft participation policy for a syllabus. This two-part workshop is open to graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff.
