HHMI Inclusive Excellence 3
Funding by Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Fort Lewis College is one of 104 schools receiving six-year grants as part of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) initiative. IE3 challenges U.S. colleges and universities to substantially and sustainably build capacity for student belonging, especially for those historically excluded from the sciences. FLC's team is working on the challenge: "How can we make the content of the introductory science experience more inclusive?" The team is comprised of Joslynn Lee (Chemistry), Sherri Spriggs (Mathematics), Keisha Carlson (Biology), and Joanna Casey (Physics and Engineering).
