Faculty Research Liner Notes

We don’t always have the time to hear the full story of each others’ scholarship. Join us for an upcoming “liner notes” event.

Drs. Sulki Kim and Alex Lin will present their plan to deliver experiential learning for undergraduate students, who will participate in delivering a K-6 STEM after school program to local elementary schools as part of a greater effort to enhance and strengthen the Latino pipeline to the STEM field.

Highlights of the culminating activities will include:

    * Science Fair Day
    * Vanguard College Day

Data will be collected to better understand the unique program experiences of both the under graduates and the K-6 students.
