A few stamps of the recent ASEE Annual Conference. It felt so good to reunite with great friends and colleagues, and to keep contributing to the advancement of Engineering Education in so many different areas and perspectives.

There's no other conference that brings me so much joy and excitement than the Latin American Congress of Students of Chemical Engineering (COLAEIQ). Muy feliz de haber compartido conocimiento y a la vez seguir aprendiendo. ¡Arriba Latinoamérica! Nada como nuestra cultura 💙

Advertising the UF Chemical Engineering PhD program during #COLAEIQ. I had a great time talking about our PhD program and responding to questions from students. I was recruited for Grad School during COLAEIQ (ages ago!) so I'm trying to give it back! More LatinX ChE grad Gators coming soon!

Además de la parte académica, el COLAEIQ es cultura en su más pura esencia. La "Gala Latinoamericana" sigue siendo el evento insignia en cada COLAEIQ. Explicar con palabras la alegría que siento en esta gala sería imposible. ¡arriba Latinoamérica! Y está vez 🇬🇹 y 🇵🇷 juntos! 💙
