The first annual S-STEM Scholar Conference was held on September 14-16, 2023 in Washington. D.C. Eight PRISM scholars from our four partner institutions attended: Zak Faarah and Ly Xiong (海角社区), and Sarmuna Wei (Century College and 海角社区); Rachael Dada and Maria Fakhreddine-Escobar (Century College); Eva Skipwith and Justin Third (Minneapolis College); and Devin Garrity (Normandale Community College). The scholars were accompanied by Professor Rebekah Dupont from Augsburg. Rachael, Justin, and Eva presented their research during the poster sessions.
The trip was fully supported by the National Science Foundation and organized by the S-STEM REC.
