Congratulations to undergrad researcher Ingrid Lopez<\/span><\/strong> for being selected as a 2021 DEI Global Learning Fellow through FIU’s Office of Global Learning Initiatives<\/a>! The fellowship will provide some funding for Ingrid to work on her project that will investigate the experiences of males, females, and gender non-binary students in chemistry and how those experiences have affected their identity as a chemistry person. Well done!<\/p>\n
