Definition of Active Participation

For trainees to remain in good standing (and be eligible for SLAC Fellowships, SLAC+ funding, innovation funding, travel funding, etc.), trainees and their SLAC advisors must meet these requirements.

Active participation for trainees includes

  • Attending Talk Shop every semester (or proactively notifying the executive committee via Charlotte Nelson of a valid reason for not being able to attend, if you will miss more than a few weeks)
  • Attending J-Term Primers every year (or proactively notifying the executive committee via Charlotte Nelson of a valid reason for not being able to attend)
  • Serving on at least one committee each year
  • Attending SLAC-supported events (including diversity and work climate sessions)
  • Participating in semi-annual trainee check-ins
  • Anti-racist discussions/programming
    • Attend Talk Shop sessions on diversity (one per semester)
    • Attend a J-Term primer workshop on diversity / antiracism
    • Attend at least one other event sponsored by the DEI Committee

Active participation for advisors is the same, except that instead of participating in trainee check-ins, faculty are required to attend one annual faculty check-in meeting with representatives from the executive committee.
