Blue-green flyer with two people wearing hard hats at the bottom. Header reads: "Call for Research Participants for our pilot study on disabled Latinxs in Engineering!" Body of the flyer states: "Qualifications: If you are (1) a Latinx/Latine/Latino or Hispanic; (2) an undergraduate planning to major or currently majoring in an engineering field; (3) a person with a disability or condition that can significantly limit your daily activities, then you are qualified to participate!" Text on the bottom of the flyer reads: "Participants will be compensated for three 90-minute interviews over the course of a semester. Email Dr. Lisette Torres-Gerald at lisette_torres@terc.edu to receive an intake form."

**PARTICIPANTS NEEDED** Are you a Latino/a or Hispanic undergraduate in engineering? Do you have a condition that significantly limits your daily activities?

Join my study on #DisabledLatinxs in #engineering, a topic with little to no available research. All participants will be compensated.

Headshot of Lisette Torres-Gerald, a tan Latina with brown eyes and short, curly brown hair who is smiling at the camera. She is wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with yellow flowers and a necklace. Underneath the photo is a logo and text that reads "Acosta Institute Fellow," with Lisette's name underneath.

Grateful to be an Acosta Institute Fellow! The fellowship will allow me to continue to bridge science, equity, & trauma-mending & heal the harms enacted by STEM spaces for marginalized students.

A fabulous creative activity to document and explore your breath and to begin to destress and move toward healing trauma.

The Executive Order on Native Ed, which included Tribal Colleges, has been rescinded in the first sweep.
