WinS 9/25/20 Meeting

In today's meeting, there was mention of doing a virtual lab tour on the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. Information to follow will be sent out once confirmed.

We discussed our first article, "Improving Underrepresented Minority Student Persistence in STEM" and resources were shared for diversity information on colleges. Links are provided below for articles and resources.

Next meeting we'll be going over thank you notes for essential workers and our STEM Fall bucket list.

Keep in mind future article's topic will be about learning styles, individual articles found can be brought to the table. Discord chat for WinS is in the making along with study groups.
