Geology Student in Washington DC


On July 22 a poster event of "exemplary research" was held for members of congress in the Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill to celebrate the success of the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program. California State University Northridge (CSUN) was honored to have one of its undergraduate LSAMP students, Ms. Carrie Bender (back row, beneath arrow) from the Department of Geological Sciences, chosen to represent all of the CSU System at this event. Carrie will continue her graduate studies in the department this Fall, supported by an LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) fellowship. She joins second-year graduate students and BD Fellows Cristo Ramirez and Melissa Nunley who entered the program last year.
