“The SEA-NSF Workshop that I was fortunate to attend has prepared me well for the road ahead. It is with great excitement that I inform SEA that I’ve been award two NSF grants since then. I am grateful to SEA and its programs that assist junior faculty members in obtaining federal funding. Keep up the outstanding work. I hope SEA continues to receive funding to conduct workshops that will help Junior Faculty learn how to move forward.”
