First time at an AEESP conference and I loved it!
Highlights:
— I cannot get over how beautiful Duke’s campus is;
— The sense of community, support, and solidarity was overwhelming;
— The leadership talks were inspiring and got me teary-eyed. Our work matters! And our colleagues inspire us.
— There was an excellent session on Climate education for engineering!
— Another great session: a survival guide for early career faculty. Full of great advice!
— I’ve met so many new people, had insightful conversations with leaders in their fields, and am leaving excited and full of ideas…
— Met a wonderful crew of Brazilian faculty and students who joined me in the initiative of creating a Brazil-US collaborative and community of practice! Stay tuned!
