UNC Charlotte graduate faculty and staff attended this year’s conference of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) Oct. 11-13 in San Antonio.
The Diversity in STEM conference attracted more than 4000 students, faculty and speakers who participated in poster presentations, classes, mentoring and cultural activities.
UNC Charlotte was represented by (from left) Marianne Williford, graduate admissions counselor for the Graduate School, Dr. Yvette Huet, director for the UNC Charlotte ADVANCE Faculty Affairs Diversity Office and a professor of Kinesiology, and Lauren Slane, Bioinformatics graduate program coordinator.
Events such as these provide an excellent opportunity for program directors to recruit bright, motivated students to graduate programs at UNC Charlotte. Participants are typically from underrepresented minorities with strong academic potential. Graduate Admissions sends a representative to a select number of recruitment event and provides recruitment materials to faculty, staff and students who attend.
