University Service
Science Educational Equity Program: SEE
The Science Educational Equity Program, SEE, was established in 1986 to broaden the participation of students who face social, economic, and educational barriers to careers in science research, science teaching, and health professions. Currently, I serve as the Director of SEE and I advise students in the areas of pre-health professions, microbiology, molecular biology, clinical lab science, and graduate studies.
Center for Science and Math Success
The Center for Science and Math Success (Success Center) serves as an umbrella for several existing programs in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics with the goal of providing innovative and comprehensive student and academic support services to students in math and science courses. The Success Center focuses on implementing interventions designed to contribute to overall student success, leadership, and engagement. In essence, the Success Center is a one-stop-shop for students to obtain help to be successful, as well as leadership opportunities within Center programs.
