Thank you, Dr. Elsa Gonzalez, for organizing the Texas Partnerships Expo: NSF Research Symposium & Networking Forum. The event brought together leaders across the Texas A&M System to discuss emerging opportunities, build new collaborations, and enhance our innovative approaches to advancing educational research and STEM pathways.

It was an honor to attend alongside Dr. Beverly J. Irby (Director, ELRC), Dr. Rafael Lara-Alecio (Director, CRDLLA), Dr. Seung Won Yoon, Dr. Kara Sutton-Jones, Dr. Henan Zhang, Andrea McMurray, and Mahreen Kashif Ghayas. We were especially grateful for the opportunity to present our poster and share the impactful work being advanced through ELRC and CRDLLA.

Thankful for the meaningful conversations, new connections, and shared commitment to expanding opportunities for learners and communities.
