I also shared my own PARSE experiences with new Faculty at the Seminar for Full-Time Faculty in Year 1 Reflections and Plans workshop , and Year 2 gave a short presentation on the Task Force’s goals and accomplishments to Chairs Colloquium— Thursday, February 21 and conducted the post-evaluation quantitative and qualitative analyses for the PDAC Membership presentation.

  Activities: Selected for one-year term, and renewed annually until Spring 2014 to act as a liaison for faculty with Office of Sponsored Programs and Grants Sponsored Research and funding agencies. Help faculty find internal and external grant opportunities, locate potential grant collaborators, and apply for grants. Work closely with the Director to conceptualize and execute grant projects with PIs and Co-PIs. During my term, I worked on several grants, two of which were awarded. The first, The City Tech National Science Foundation Noyce Scholarship program Noyce Explorer, Scholar, Teacher (NEST) inaugurated in January 2014 to address the severe local and national challenge of staffing middle and high school classrooms with well-qualified mathematics, science, and computer technology teachers. I conducted the literature review, formulated the conceptual theories and worked closely with the PI to strengthen the proposal in both rounds of submission 2012; 2013 which ultimately led to an award for $1.45 million in funding for the College. I wrote a short summary of the NOYCE program for the Nucleus, Volume 5, Issue 1 to share with the College community. In Fall 2014 I worked on two major institutional grants the NSF ADVANCE Grant, and the NSF BRIDGES to the Baccalaureate proposal which were both due in Fall of October; November. Ultimately, the BRIDGES proposal was successfully awarded and commenced in Fall 2014. Total amount for the award $1.5 million. Please see exhibit for summary of achievements.
• Undergraduate Research Committee (Arts and Sciences)
  Role: Member | 2009-Present
  Activities: Serve as a member in the Undergraduate Research Committee for City Tech Arts and Sciences to educate and promote effective mentoring. As a member, I collaborate with other faculty members across disciplines to help create and present seminars for faculty and staff interested in learning about and/or developing effective mentoring skills. In Spring 2014 I led the workshop on: Assessment and Tools, and created and distributed two documents for faculty to use when conducting research with students: one for the contract; and the other an application for research. The committee has drafted a mentoring handbook at the culmination of seminars to be used for City Tech faculty and other CUNY campuses Fall 2011; and revised Spring 2014 is near final. In addition, our committee also promotes and creates workshops for students to encourage student-faculty mentoring. Effective mentoring training is important in furthering research productivity within City Tech faculty. Below are seminars that were created, advertised and presented by the Undergraduate Research committee for faculty and students.
