   Thomas Dick is a professor of mathematics at Oregon State University. He serves as the Coordinator of Collegiate Mathematics Education, as Faculty Director of the OSU Math Learning Center, and as the OSU Math Excel (Treisman Emerging Scholars) program. His main mathematics education research interests are in the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning of mathematics. He was recognized in 2009 with the Pacific Northwest Section of the Mathematical Association of America Distinguished Teaching Award. He most recently served on an Equity Task Force for the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators.

5. Dr. Susie J Brubaker-Cole Oregon State University [biography]

   Dr. Susie Brubaker-Cole is vice provost for student affairs at Oregon State University. Prior to this appointment, she served for six years as OSU's associate provost for academic success and eight years as Stanford's associate vice provost for undergraduate education. She earned her bachelors' degrees in French and Comparative History of Ideas from University of Washington, and master's and doctoral degrees from Yale in French literature. She is interested in student perceptions of innovative pedagogies and course designs, and the impact of co-curricular engagement on student success.

6. Ann Sitomer Oregon State University [biography]

   Ann earned a PhD in mathematics education from Portland State University in 2014. Her dissertation examined informal ways of reasoning about ratio, rate and proportion that adult returning students bring to an arithmetic review class and how these ways of thinking interacted with the curriculum. Other research interests include teachers’ professional noticing of learners’ mathematical thinking and organizational change. Ann works on both the implementation and research sides of the ESTEME@OSU project.

7. Dr. Kathleen Quardokus Fisher Oregon State University [biography]

   Dr. Kathleen Quardokus Fisher is a postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State University. She is currently participating in a project that supports the use of evidence-based instructional practices in undergraduate STEM courses through developing communities of practice. Her research interests focus on understanding how organizational change occurs in higher education with respect to teaching and learning in STEM courses.

8. Ms. Christina Smith Oregon State University [biography]

   Christina Smith is a graduate student in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University. She received her B.S. from the University of Utah in chemical engineering and is pursuing her Ph.D. also in chemical engineering with an emphasis on engineering education. Her research focuses on how the beliefs of graduate students around teaching and learning interact with and influence the environments in which they are asked to teach.

9. Mr. John David Ivanovitch Oregon State university [biography]

   I am a fourth year doctoral student studying organizational change and STEM education at the collegiate level. My education includes a BA in cell and molecular Biology and a MSc. in integrated biochemistry/microbiology. Prior to entering the Doctoral program at Oregon State University I worked for over a decade as a biomedical researcher, with projects ranging from biochemistry to molecular virology. My current education research interests include transdisciplinary integration of STEM, and teaching-related cultures at the micro-, meso- and macro levels (i.e., discipline, departmental, institutional).

10. Julie Risien Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning [biography]

    Julie is the Associate Director of the the Oregon State University Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning. In this role she focuses on investigating and enhancing the quality of research impacts, working to redefine undergraduate success, and working across campus to support transformation of undergraduate STEM education practices. Julie brings experience working with research organizations at OSU including Oregon Sea Grant and the Institute for Natural Resources. Prior to her work as research administrator Julie spent many years working for non-profit organizations and as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer on marine conservation issues including state and regional research planning and policy initiatives, citizen-science water quality monitoring and enforcement, marine habitat restoration, marine reserves establishment and monitoring, endangered species conservation and management, and community-based conservation programing in the Pacific Islands. Julie has a MSc. in Marine Resource Management from OSU. She serves as an advisor to the office of research development, and serves on the National Alliance for Broader Impacts steering committee.
