Last week, eleven Woodland Community College (WCC) students began conducting research in UC Davis science laboratories as part of the WCC MESA Undergraduate Research Scholars Program (MURSP). MURSP is an opportunity for community college students to gain hands-on research experience at an early stage in their STEM career. Students are participating in enrichment activities to enhance their preparation and confidence to transfer to a four-year university and pursue a career in a STEM field. The eight-week paid summer research program runs from June 20, 2023 - August 11, 2023 and culminates with a student poster presentation session. This program is in partnership with the University of California, Davis Graduate Preparatory Programs, Graduate Student & Post Doctoral SACNAS Chapter at UCD, and the UCD Microbiology Graduate Group. 

Our chapter is organizing seven professional development seminars. This week our MURSP students learn about how to write a Resume/CV. This workshop was presented by the Internship & Career Center (ICC) on campus.

The UCD GSPD SACNAS Chapter, in collaboration with the MANO (Mentoring, Advising, and Networking Opportunities) Project and Woodland Community College, hosted a discussion series to achieve cross-institutional collaboration and community trust-building at large. We had STEM graduate student volunteers leading  small, informal, and inclusive discussion groups to share their experiences prior to and during graduate school. Café con pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread and coffee) was provided.

​Thank you to  WCC and MANO! We couldn't have done this without our volunteers: 
Amelia Brie Bennett (Ph.D. candidate, Microbiology), Jessica Hallstrom (Ph.D. candidate, Food Science & Technology), Regina Agulto (Ph.D. candidate, Molecular, Cellular & Integrative Physiology), Maribel Anguiano (PhD Student, Neuroscience), Celena Lozano (2nd year PhD Student, Neuroscience), Erika Bueno (PhD candidate, Entomology), Tana Hernandez Barrueta (PhD candidate, Food Science), Deana Villagomes  (PhD student, Molecular & Cellular Biology), and Elizabeth Reyes Gallegos (PhD Candiate, Entomology).
