Advisory Council
The Advisory Council is a group of eight nationally recognized experts in equity and inclusion in STEM who are not already involved in SEISMIC. This group of experts provides project leadership with important feedback as details of equity measures and plans for coordinated experiments emerge. The Advisory Council also helps to represent SEISMIC to the larger higher education community.
