Rising Scholars of CLS 2023 Meetup

October 26, 2023

Mia Shaw, Jaleesa Trapp, and Cecilé Sadler are organizing a ‘Rising Scholars of CLS’ meetup at this year’s Connected Learning Summit on October 26, 2023. 

The purpose of the event is to hold space for diverse graduate students and postdocs in the CLS community to connect with supportive mentors and peers with shared experiences and backgrounds. We invite scholars who bring the assets of their communities and lived experience to CLS, and are committed to scholarship that gives back to their communities. The virtual event will take place on October 26 from 8am-11 am PT.
