A Case-Study Approach to Overcoming Barriers to Advancement for Women in STEM
Meet UB students from the three NAVIGATE research cohorts, and learn about their interests within their respective STEM fields.
I'd like to thank you and the team for such an incredible experience...I find myself able to present my thoughts in a more structured way, while discussing these matters, by using the key concepts and various tools learnt.
