Center for Communicating Science Plays a Role in HBCU/MSI Research Summit
December 12, 2022
Faculty and graduate students associated with the Center for Communicating Science (CCS) were honored to participate in Virginia Tech’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Serving Institutions Research Summit in November. Hosted by the Graduate School, the HBCU/MSI Research Summit provides opportunities for Virginia Tech faculty to form collaborative partnerships with visiting faculty and for visiting undergraduate students to learn about graduate research opportunities.
CCS associate director Carrie Kroehler and biological sciences graduate student Sara Richards helped welcome participants November 6 with interactive exercises that got folks moving, talking, and laughing.
On November 7, six graduates of the 2-credit Communicating Science course gave research “flash talks” for Summit participants, explaining their research and sharing graduate school experiences. Many thanks to Sara and to the speakers below for their participation in this event!
