Katie Walsh

DEI+B Co-Chair
Division 1
Associate Director of Academic Support Programs, Supplemental Instruction and Workshops, Student Academic Success Center

I began my career at CMU in 2015 as a Teaching Consultant at the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation. While at Eberly I helped faculty and graduate student instructors develop their evidence-based teaching practices. In my role at the SASC, I've transferred my teaching and learning focus to undergraduate peer mentors. As Associate Director, I support and direct a staff of 80+ peer mentors, including Supplemental Instruction Leaders and peer tutors. In addition to helping other develop as teachers and learners, I also teach in the History Department and Dietrich's Grand Challenge Program. 

During my term of Staff Council, I would like to continue my work with the DEI+B Committee, which aims to make CMU a diverse and inclusive environment that promotes equity and a sense of belonging.
