Dean's Circle

The Dean's Circle consists of undergraduate students who represent the college’s six comprehensive departments: biological sciences, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, mathematics and statistics, physics, and psychology. The Dean’s Circle will meet twice a month during fall and spring semesters to discuss college-related issues that are high on the minds of College of Science and Mathematics students. In addition to their major, the members of the Dean’s Circle were selected based on their interest, academic achievement, and leadership skills.

Membership

The College of Science and Mathematics Dean’s Circle seeks applications from enthusiastic students who share the Dean’s commitment to growing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), enhancing student success, advancing undergraduate experiential learning, and sharing our many successes with the Wright State communities. Appointed students will serve a two-year term beginning the Fall Semester of 2019.

Interested students should submit:

• a nice headshot photo - professional, not a selfie
• completed CoSM Dean's Circle application: 2019 CoSM Dean's Circle Application PDF 

Applications and photos may be dropped off at the Deans office in 134 Oelman Hall by March 29, 2019 to be considered for the 2019-2020 term. 

New Program: CoSM Engagement Mentoring Program (C-SEMP)

C-SEMP is more than a one-day event.  It is a structured transition program that provides mentoring throughout the entire first year of a student’s college journey.

If you are a CoSM student interested in being matched with a mentor to help coach and guide you through your student career journey then please take a moment to complete the "Mentee" survey.

If you are CoSM faculty, staff, or a student who has completed your freshmen year and would like to coach an in-coming freshman through their student career journey, then please complete the "Mentor" survey.

Visit the C-Semp webpage for more information. 

History

To learn more about concerns of undergraduate students in the college, in 2008, Dean Wheatly established a new student advisory board called the Dean’s Circle.

Check out STEMulations, the presentation and demonstration series presented by the Dean's Circle to highlight STEM fields with exciting and informative events.
