Two Cal State Fullerton junior faculty members will be attending ELEVATE — a June 28-30 early career faculty training program hosted by the Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions.
Lucia Alcala, assistant professor of psychology, and Patrice Waller, assistant professor of secondary education, are among 18 ELEVATE Fellows selected from across the country. Both educators joined CSUF last fall.
