Event Description:

The project has built a vibrant community of undergraduate and graduate students with scholarships, innovative curricula, experiential learning programs, awards, and training. It also has supported the faculty’s research and publication and has integrated the faculty’s research and students’ education through a series of seminars, workshops, and conferences. At this conference, the project members will present their accomplishments and discuss the future direction.
