UF WiSE: “Uncovering the Hidden Figures”, Black Women in STEM Fields, 2/28, 12 noon
To celebrate Black History Month, WiSE's theme for the month of February is “Uncovering the Hidden Figures”. We will discuss the major contributions of black women in STEM fields and shed light on the historical and current impact of black women scientists. Despite having to overcome significant discrimination in the workforce, black women scientists have played a vital role in the advancement of STEM. By highlighting the historical and current impacts of black women in STEM we hope to appreciate the importance of striving for continued progress of diversity in the science workforce.
Event details:
We are excited to host this month's guest speaker Dr. Hazel Levy. Dr. Levy received an MS in Entomology and Nematology, as well as a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Florida. She was also the recipient of an NIH fellowship as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Levy is now a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. She is one of the first African- American women to have her own research lab at UF College of Medicine. Her research interests include Molecular Biology and Gene Therapy Vector Development.

Learning Preferences Workshop 2/15/2017
Struggling in
class even though you understood the material? Confused as to why you did not
do as well as you hoped on the exam, although the homework was not difficult
for you? When students do not perform to their highest academic potential, it
is not due to inability. Rather, it is from not fully understanding how they
learn best for each class. Having a better sense of your learning style or
learning preference will give you the edge in becoming more successful in your
classes, and provide you with the tools to adapt different to teaching styles.
This workshop will provide a basic overview of the different learning styles
and help you learn to discover which study skill methods work best for you.
Seating is
limited.
Please sign-up by registering for the workshop at: https://www.advising.ufl.edu/workshops
and selecting “AAC” from “Select a Workshop Area”.
