Two physics professors from St. Mary’s College of Maryland gave talks at the American Association of Physics Teacher’s virtual winter meeting.  

Erin De Pree, associate professor and chair of the physics department, described training physics students to diffuse racial microaggressions.  Work in the department, including the efforts described by De Pree, recently earned the Optical Society of America’s Diversity & Inclusion Advocacy Recognition for the SMCM physics department.
