The College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) is working to improve experiences in our courses and programs to help foster success for students with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.  Our goal is to mentor, empower, and guide students by developing them holistically – personally, intellectually, and professionally – in an environment where all students feel supported by faculty, staff, and administrators as they work toward completing their degree programs.  

Dean’s Scholars are active partners in this effort to make improvements for current and future students and work closely with other Dean’s Scholars, CSM majors, faculty, staff, and administrators to expand the student voice represented in these important endeavors and ensure that no student groups are left out of the conversation.  

The contributions of the Dean’s Scholar Council are critical to ensure that the College:  

1. develops a culture that is welcoming and supportive;
2. designs/redesigns courses and curricula to reflect students’ professional goals and to complement their life experiences;
3. understands and is responsive to students’ interests and needs through the curriculum, program design, support structures, and decisions that impact the student experience; and
4. incorporates students’ perspectives when evaluating the effectiveness of improvement efforts.

We value the time that our Dean’s Scholars invest in this work and only ask them to be engaged as much as their studies and schedules allow. If you believe that you have the right skills to make a difference for the variety of students whom we serve, please contact Dr. Kadian M. Callahan to discuss this opportunity. We look forward to working with you!
