Faculty, Staff

Integrating equity into our approaches to research is an important step that we need to take more frequently and more impactfully. Join us for this collaborative event with the Association for Faculty Women and WSU Pullman Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusive Excellence, Dr. Lisa Guerrero, as she encourages us to locate, implicate, and disrupt existing power structures and contextual factors that perpetuate inequity in how we conduct research from setting the research agenda to designing research questions, from identifying methodologies and epistemologies to conducting the research, all the way through the dissemination and application of findings.

Attention Pullman Faculty! Join the Spark team in Nova Studio (Spark 115) for guided, hands-on design activities sure to spark new creative approaches to your teaching. February’s faculty hour will focus on creative ideas for incorporating laser cutting into assignments. Guided, hands on time will get you familiar with Nova Studio’s Laser Cutting capabilities, which are available to your students for course assignments and projects.

School’s out, Bingo’s in! Looking for something to do on your day off? We’ll be playing round after round of Bingo starting at 12 p.m. with prizes for the winners of each game and the fun lasting as long as the prizes. You can register in advance or drop in, play the whole time or only stay for a game or two – your style, your choice, just be sure to bring your family and friends! To fuel your game, we’ll be serving up game night treats like popcorn, candy and sodas.

On the 4th Monday of each month, the Engineering Education Research Center and Community Leadership Council will host a gathering to discuss a paper about engineering or architecture education. Pizza and soda are provided. All faculty, staff, students, and postdocs are invited. The reading for Feb 24 is The Modalities of Governance in Engineering Education. We hope that everyone can read the paper prior to the event, but all are welcome even if they haven’t read it yet.
