The "secret sauce" of what we do really is our community of support 💖. Recently, we awarded three educators "The Interdisciplinary Impact Award" for leading the most variety of courses! At the ceremony, one of our scholars who has taken 4 Ed Equity Lab classes gave a loving and tearful note of thanks to her teacher Sara Schafer of TOPEKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS. These awardees have taken on the challenge of teaching new courses across multiple subjects, embracing the adventure of learning alongside their students. They approach each course with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a true love for discovery, inspiring their students to explore beyond traditional boundaries. Congratulations to our remarkable Interdisciplinary Impact Award recipients! You can watch Ms. Shafer's remarks here: https://lnkd.in/g_xBk6iD

We had an awesome time traveling with 40 scholars from Mathematics Science Research And Technology Magnet High School (in Queens, NY) to visit Wesleyan University. Many of the scholars are taking Professor Tushar Irani's "Live Like a Philosopher" course and got to meet him in person! They also had the chance to do a live session with their teaching fellow Tomas Perez. For some scholars this was their first time out of the State of New York. Many thanks to Associate Director of Center for Pedagogical Innovation at Wesleyan University Jeffrey Goetz for organizing an amazing day for scholars and exposing them to new college options.

The summit highlighted the importance of the National Education Equity Lab, of which Cornell is a member, and its mission to prepare low-income students to enroll and succeed in college.
