Good morning everyone! The Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) Program will hold its 4th annual Invited Lecture Series today, March 7th, and tomorrow, March 8th. For the Invited Lecture Series, we invite nationally recognized scholars and practitioners in the fields of mentoring, diversity and inclusion, and creating climates of success for URM students. This year, M@P will host Dr. Erika Camacho of Arizona State University. Dr. Camacho will host two workshops - one for faculty and staff and one for graduate students. The graduate student workshop, "Insights to Success Before, During, and After Graduate School Through My Story," will be TODAY, March 7th from 5:00pm-6:00pm in Whistler Hall, Room B008. Having grown up in East Los Angeles, California, Dr. Camacho understands many of the struggles that students and women of color must endure in striving to attain their academic and professional goals.

She will share stories about the key individuals and decisions that contributed to her success and transformation, including highlights of her research and the adversities she faced. Dr. Camacho will also share her passion for social activism and continual drive to transform the world of academia and strengthen our communities. Her life story is full of insights and lessons of empowerment for all.
