Special thanks to our 2022 Faculty Visioning Grant awardees, Professors Theresa Austin and Maria José Botelho, who presented their project in our faculty meeting last Friday, 03/24.
The goal of their project is to institutionalize transformative pathways
for recruiting and mentoring Latinx paraprofessionals into licensed-teaching and other community-based positions.
