A new committee in NACS, led by Melissa Caras, Assistant Professor in Biology, and comprised of NACS faculty, students and postdoc affiliates, seeks to build relationships with persons historically excluded from scientific or academic opportunities because of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and/or disability status. The committee plans to hold targeted outreach events and launch fundraising efforts to improve research opportunities.
