CSU students Dominique Newell, Sharely Batista, and Fidel Amezcua, with Professor Mel Sabella attended the 2018 Access Assembly at the University of Colorado - Boulder. Sessions focused on fostering supportive learning communities; engaging students in the process of doing authentic science; helping students develop professional skills and empowering students to take ownership of their education, and increasing diversity and equity in STEM. CSU presented a poster at the conference and Sharely co-led a session with colleagues from the University of Maryland, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Arizona State University.
