Preparing Future Faculty–HUTEP

I had the honor of participating this afternoon in a joint venture of Howard University and University of Texas El Paso–the 3rd Preparing Future Faculty (PFF)Institute here in DC on the campus of Howard. My talk was on the value of multidisciplinary research but in discussions with the students, we covered everything from mentoring to potassium channels and then on to social complexity models. Kudos to Terrolyn P. Carter who has been coordinator of the Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate and the Preparing Future Faculty Programs at Howard and to Orlando Taylor, Howard’s Vice Provost for Research and Dean of the graduate school there.

To the students I met, thank you for your great feedback and I look forward to continuing the dialog virtually.
