Abstract
Presenters: Eda Davis-Butts (Director, the Science and Math Investigative
Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program, Oregon State University), SueAnn Bottoms (Associate Director, the Science and Math
Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program, Oregon State University),
Sujaya Rao (Associate Professor, College of Agricultural Sciences, Oregon State University). Abstract: Research faculty and outreach practitioners at Oregon State University collaborated to develop, implement, and refine a series of
workshops to enhance the capacity of faculty to respond to growing requirements for meaningful education, outreach, and broader impact initiatives as part of their scientific research programs. Faculty
in various science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
disciplines participated in and provided feedback about the usefulness of the workshops, as well as identified factors that would support their engagement in STEM outreach. This session shares the elements of the workshops, participant responses, self-identified enabling conditions
for STEM engagement, and resulting collaborations.
