Thrive.

Abstract

In recent years, the University of Missouri’s faculty and students have seen the campus’ readiness to have hard conversations about race and inclusivity. HHMI THRIVE Project’s goal is to develop a culture of inclusive excellence or, in other words, extend quality education to all students, welcome those students into academic communities, and empower participants in the practice of science. THRIVE has established several new communities for students and faculty to create an improved teaching culture. These include a student group, Faculty Learning Community, and research group, whose findings will help demonstrate effective routes for institutional change. THRIVE also offers several paid opportunities for undergraduate students looking to further their carers and gain valuable experience. Many more exciting events for THRIVE are still on the horizon as, this October, we will host the next PIC conference on campus, where teams of four HHMI IE projects will come together.
