A major gap in recruitment and retention approaches to increasing broad participation is that students already in EE fields are not treated as stakeholders let alone experts. Even in the context of a growing interest in student-centered approaches to pedagogy, many of these interventions fail to engage student voices in developing student-centered approaches. The SAB provides a unique infrastructure for students in EE-related fields to forge community, engage in outreach, and inform pedagogical interventions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Expectations of the Student Advisory Board:<\/b>\u00a0 This is a remote position that pays $1000 for 4 hours on average per month for a total of 8 months of work (Nov 5 \u2013 June 5).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Monthly group meetings<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Provide direction and feedback on the Steering Committee activities (e.g., pedagogy tools)<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Build networking capacity<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Co-organize conference sessions and mixers<\/p>\n Application questions:\u00a0<\/b>Please click\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/u>\u00a0to fill out the application for participation in the UNIDE Student Advisory Board by\u00a0Oct 15th<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Name:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Email:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Phone number:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Institution:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Department\/major:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Time Zone:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Graduation year\/standing:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What drives your interest in ecology and\/or environmental science related fields?<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How do you think your previous experiences can contribute to the UNIDE mission through the Student Advisory Board?<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What do you hope to learn or gain from participating in the UNIDE mission through the Student Advisory Board?<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Transcripts.<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Contact for two references:\u00a0<\/p>\n Timeline:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Application due:\u00a0Oct 15th<\/b><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Notice of acceptance sent to students (along with poll for availability to schedule orientation\/onboarding meeting):\u00a0Oct 20th<\/b><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Confirmation of participation from students:\u00a0Oct 25th<\/b><\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Orientation\/onboarding meeting:\u00a0First week of November<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you have any questions, please email Dr. Natasha Woods (woodsn02@moravian.edu<\/a><\/u>) or Dr. Ariel Rawson (rawson.29@osu.edu<\/a><\/u>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8089,"featured_media":34100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8089"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56621"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56622,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56621\/revisions\/56622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
