Karen Viskupic, an assistant professor in the Department of Geosciences, co-authored an article published in Nature Geoscience about the role of discipline-specific first-year courses for graduate students in fostering inclusion. https://rdcu.be/cpbSi
Viskupic and co-authors teach first-year onboarding courses for graduate students in geoscience departments, and the article is intended to promote the development of similar courses in other geoscience departments. Several of the co-authors also led a webinar for the National Association of Geoscience Teachers on the same topic. https://nagt.org/nagt/profdev/webinars/grad_student_onboard/index.html
