DESCRIPTION: \n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nAfter decades of stability\, growth\, an
 d a certain level of success with a model where instructors served as the 
 primary knowledge source while most students passively listened\, teaching
  and learning in higher education have been in a state of constant evoluti
 on in response multiple societal pressures and technological developments.
  One of the main challenges encountered in the STEM fields is the modest p
 ersistence rate\, with only ca. 40-50% of students who declare a STEM majo
 r (in the US) ultimately completing their originally intended degree. Some
  of the reasons frequently cited for students to leave STEM majors include
  lack of preparedness for rigorous work\, insufficient support systems\, s
 ocial and cultural factors\, and institutional barriers. This talk will de
 scribe efforts to make UCLA faculty aware of many of these issues and to e
 xplore the implementation of inclusive education strategies.\n\n \n\nBio:
 \n\nMiguel A. García-Garibay received his B.S. degree from the University 
 of Michoacan\, Mexico and his Ph.D. from the University of British Columbi
 a with Professor John Scheffer. After his time as a postdoctoral fellow at
  Columbia University\, he joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemis
 try at UCLA\, where he is now Distinguished Professor. After various leade
 rship positions\, he was appointed Dean of Physical Sciences and Senior De
 an of the UCLA College. He has served in editorial boards of several Ameri
 can Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry journals and was a
 n associate editor of Journal of the American Chemical Society. García-Gar
 ibay achieved international reputation for work in reactive intermediates\
 , solid-state chemistry\, photochemistry\, and for the development of amph
 idynamic crystals as a platform for molecular machines. He has authored ov
 er 250 articles and delivered over 350 lectures across the globe. Among ot
 her honors\, he received the Inter-American Photochemical Society Award\, 
 the ACS Cope Scholar Award\, and the 2025 ACS James Flack Norris Award in 
 Physical Organic Chemistry. He was elected fellow of the American Associat
 ion of the Advancement of Science\, fellow of the American Chemical Societ
 y\, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, corresponding me
 mber of the Mexican Academy of Sciences\, and in 2023\, he was elected to
