Andrew Parsekian, Faculty Fellow

Andrew Parsekian is an Associate Professor in the departments of Geology & Geophysics and Civil & Architectural Engineering with research focus on environmental geophysics and shallow-earth environmental processes. He has coordinated and led a variety of geoscience outreach efforts and currently leads a federally funded effort to develop inclusive course materials to inspire early-career undergraduates about geophysics. As a faculty fellow, Dr. Parsekian will focus on examining how UW can enhance recruitment of a diverse student body, and new strategies to support underrepresented students in need of assistance through the course of their studies. The purpose of this project is to enhance UW’s ability to be responsive to the needs of students from the broadest range of backgrounds.
