At today’s rally in support of DEI at U-M, our first student speaker named the divestment from this work what it is - institutional betrayal. They reminded us that when the institution doesn’t show up for us, we show up for each other. #WeAreDEI

As a Gates Millennium Scholars Program / GMSP alum, I am deeply saddened by this news. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation built something that was brilliant, necessary, and live-changing for so many of us as low-income, high-achieving students of color. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Thank you #VT Libraries for supporting the book! 📚 it was super exciting to see it in a life-size form, right on the first floor of our main library 🎉 Showing this to my family = priceless 💕 #Latin* #Engineering #Education #HigherEd Lara Perez-Felkner Ciera Fluker, Ph.D.

I received The Rising Star in Diversity Award (the 2nd award this week, wild 🤯)! Going to the CoNECD Conference was a much needed space of community and support, and I am forever grateful to my research team and engineering ed fam that helped make this a special one ❤️

This week was special 💖 I received my FIRST award 🥇 in #Engineering #Education, the WEPAN (Women in Engineering ProActive Network) Betty Vetter Research Award! Special thanks to Diane Rover, Nandika D’Souza, Jenni Case, and Heather Metcalf for supporting my work and advocating for me!

It goes without saying, but if you see the need to access any data about American education from the federal government, you should go download it now. Like stop reading this post and do it immediately.

Join me TODAY this morning at 10am for the book signing and a little pan dulce, too! 😋❤️📚 #Latine #engineering #HigherEd #Texas #Yummm

So thankful and excited to be in community with my colleagues at #UTSA and #SAC while I am here in San Antonio! Loved the discussion and energy to keep doing this work.

So proud of our book being named one of #AAHHE's Books of the Year! Makes it even more special to share the category honor with José Del Real Viramontes and Marissa Vasquez, too, for their work on #comm_colleges!!

Our Latin* Engineering Students book won its first award— Edited Book of the Year! Looking forward to AAHHE next month. Thanks to them and especially my co-editors @srod-vt.bsky.social & Ciera Fluker + our incredible collaborators & reviewers. Appreciate you all & @rutgersupress.bsky.social
