​For our first University System of Maryland Women's Forum Spotlight Award, we are pleased to highlight the amazing work of Dr. Parisa Meisami. Parisa serves as the STEMM Coordinator in the Macklin Center for Academic Success at the Universities at Shady Grove, and is in her first year on the USM Women's Forum Executive Board. She also serves on the board of managers at Washington Academy of Sciences. Her research interests include online learning for undergraduate students in STEMM, mathematics education, educational technology and design, nontraditional students’ success, assessment and evaluation, and academic support for transfer students. She believes in the power that education offers, in creating positive and meaningful changes in an individual's life and our society. This passion is best expressed through the Women in STEMM conference, for which she is the lead organizer. We would like to congratulate Parisa on this honor and thank her for her dedication to the success of students of all gender identities.
Each month, the USM Women's Forum spotlights a woman from any USM campus (faculty, staff or student) who has made a difference or impacted other women in a positive and uplifting way. These women embody the mission of the USM Women's Forum. To make a nomination, fill out this form.
