PSEC-PULSE Ambassadors Training Program – Aug 5-7

Posted by Philadelphia STEM Equity Collective on July 8, 2025

The Philadelphia STEM Equity Collective (PSEC) is proud to collaborate with the Partnership for Undergraduate Life Science Education (PULSE) to offer the PSEC-PULSE Ambassadors Training Program (ATP). The ATP is a three-day professional development workshop, scheduled for August 5th through August 7th, 2025, that will train Philadelphia-based faculty and non-profit staff with skills in facilitative leadership, shared visioning, organizational change, and evidence-based educational practices. Participants will generate collaborative action plans to specifically address one of the outcomes of PSEC’s Theory of Change which states “post-secondary degree and non-degree STEM programs provide real-world and career-transferrable experiences that facilitate entry to STEM careers.”

The ATP will bring together 20-25 participants from Philadelphia colleges, universities, and nonprofits to build capacity for lasting change in STEM education. To participate, please fill out this short PSEC-PULSE Interest Form. The national PULSE Ambassador team will the review applications and select individuals to participate in the regional PSEC-PULSE ATP. Responses must be submitted by Monday, July 14th. Keep a look out for an email containing additional information and details.
