COME-IN
Creating Opportunities in Mathematics through Equity & Inclusion
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
PSE Math was awarded an NSF INCLUDES grant to expand the COME-IN RESOURCES to support a 2-year project that trains mathematicians and statisticians and supports departments in participation initiatives. This material is based upon work supported by the U. S. National Science Foundation under Award No. #2304106. Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this project are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
OVERVIEW
Join a network of individuals & departments from across the country in this 2-year NSF-funded DEI pilot program, which will test the viability of COME-IN Resources (see below) in small departmental teams. With guidance of DEI experts, 6 participants will train as DEI consultants and be paired with 6 departmental teams to plan and execute a DEI activity or project in the participating department. This program consists of four connected components:
-
Building a foundation to improve broadening participation and inclusion efforts in departments
-
Training consultants
-
Establishing a network of invested institutions
-
Evaluating efficacy

MATH JEDI COMMUNITY
The Math JEDI (justice, equity, diversity & inclusion) Community is a space where dedicated JEDIs can share successes and challenges, ask others for ideas, and form a community to keep this work alive and support our mutual accountability. The Math Jedi Community (MJC) Slack Channel will host conversations, speakers, and other events.
Participate in the Math JEDI Community Slack Channel today. We would love to learn about your goals, efforts, and other experiences from the field to move our collective efforts forward.
