Activities
Micro messaging and Non-traditional Student Success Webinar February 27, 2012, 10:00-11:00
CST
Guest Presenter: Claudia Morrell, Chief Operating Officer, National Alliance for
Partnerships in Equity Education (NAPE)
Micro-inequities are those subtle “micro-messages” that devalue, discourage, and
dismiss non-traditional students as exceptional scholars, scientists, and engineers.
This presentation will provide the building blocks to understanding micro-messaging
and its impact on communication and performance.
Back by popular demand! Claudia will reprise the “standing- room-only” session that
she presented at our Fall 2012 CTE Conference.

The Minnesota Equity Project Webinar: The Equity Mentoring Experience, Part I. December
7, 2010, 11am-12noon CST
Benefits, strategies and expectations will be outlined for consortia mentors and
mentees. Being involved in a mentoring relationship can assist Minnesota consortia
in disseminating the valuable lessons from the FY10 STEM Equity Pipeline and MN
New Look Projects. The following topics will be discussed: enhancing the mentoring
site through documenting results and through enhanced technical assistance around
data analysis, finding ways in busy schedules to strengthen relationships, creating
momentum around STEM equity and non-traditional careers projects, and understanding
expectations for mentoring and mentee sites in the Equity Project.

Minnesota Showcase
May 27, 2010
The showcase was a culminating event near the end of the academic year done jointly
with the STEM Equity Pipeline Project and the New Look Project at Saint Paul College
along with the Academic and Student Affairs Conference. This showcase event was
a space where consortia (pilot sites) presented their work from the past year. They
prepared presentations, typically consisting of tri-folds with artifacts (e.g.,
things they developed), and shared and discussed their results and activities. Additional
training was provided on aspects of the Five Step Program Improvement Process.

Minnesota 5 Step Training Proceedings - Monday, October 12, 2009
This event introduced the STEM Equity Pipeline Project and MN New Look Project which
both aimed to address participation and completion rates in nontraditional (STEM)
courses and careers. Sessions focused on how documenting performance results, identifying
and exploring root causes, and selecting best strategies could assist with these
efforts. It closed with discussion surrounding mini-grant applications related to
this work.
