Last week, PhD student Kerry Eller and Post-Baccalaureate Fellow Jen Ayres presented their work at the 2025 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference in Montreal, Québec, Canada (June 22-25).
Jen Ayres shared her work with GWHT's Duke Ignite Program, led by Assistant Director of Education Megan Madonna.
Kerry Eller's paper, titled "Global means local too: Integrating anti-oppressive practice into community-based capstone design projects" was one of five nominees for Top Paper (Design).
Congratulations to both Jen and Kerry for their stellar work and successful presentations at ASEE!
