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.

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).
