We’ve just concluded the first ADVANCE Hispanic Women in STEM Networking Conference in Puerto Rico, which brought together women faculty in science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines from across the island. It was a wonderful experience! I helped to co-found the conference with my colleagues from Universidad Metropolitana […]
I had a WONDERFUL day! After today’s conference sessions, Miguel and his mom, Sandra, took me to see many sights! We started with lunch at Niko’s cafe where I had arroz (rice), lentejas (lentils), ensalada repollo (cabbage salad — cole slaw), and arroz con leche (a rice-based pudding) […]
Yesterday I arrived in Panamá, and this afternoon I gave the first of two talks at the 2012 Conference of the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI – Consorcio Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Escuelas de Ingeniería.) This is the home of one of our PROMISE: […]
This past weekend, my Graduate Assistants and I were in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the Ana G. Mendez University System Research Symposium. I’ve been to Puerto Rico before since I regularly work with faculty, staff, and students from the universities on the island. However, this was the […]
