In addition, she is actively engaged in the development of a vari- ety of informal science education approaches with the goal of exciting and teaching K-12 students about regenerative medicine and its potential. Most recently, she has started to engage in the development of programs aimed at retaining women within Chemical Engineering including mentor lunches with visiting female seminar speakers, a leadership book club and sexual harassment workshops.Mrs. Lauren M.

The purpose of living and learning communities is to create a smaller Page 24.872.2community within a larger one so that an overwhelmingly large campus becomes morecomfortable.7 As students live and study together in a LLC, they are more likely to
