2009

Stella Aniagyei (ex-President) with the help of Ruwan Kurulugama (ex-Vice President) and Esther Uduehi (Secretary)wrote a grant proposal seeking funds from the University President’s $1 million Diversity Initiative to support our chapter. We are proud to report that we were 1 of 4 proposals funded on the Bloomington campus! Included in the other 3 is SNMA-MAPS with whom we are sponsoring a research symposium May 3rd, 2009.

Thanks to the initiative, we were able to send 2 faculty, 1 graduate student and 1 undergrad to the national conference in St. Louis held April 13-17, 2009, to give presentations as well as recruit prospective students.
