We are incredibly grateful for the support of the faculty and staff who have enabled the success of LSAMP at UMBC. We understand it is not always easy and we appreciate all that you do. It truly takes a village to support all students across campus.

Thank you to all the faculty, postdoc, and graduate student mentors for guiding our student researchers.

This year we showcased three of our amazing students from the Class of 23.

Future Dr. Chizaram Ugboh - Mechanical Engineering - Chizaram is pursuing her Masters at Purdue and was just announced as an NSF GRFP awardee.

Future Dr. Diego Iglesias Vega - Chemical Engineering - Diego is pursuing his Masters at M.I.T.

Future Dr. Kelvin Fadojutmi - Biochemistry - Kelvin is a Postbaccalaureate Fellow at MSK.

We also highlighted two faculty members, Dr. Patricia Ordóñez from COEIT who has hosted 5 LSAMP Research Fellows in her lab and conducted sessions for LSAMP and Dr. Michelle Starz-Gaiano from CNMS who has hosted 9 LSAMP Research Fellows in her lab for their continued contributions to our students and program and our village of campus partners.

Thank you to all of the departments, administrators, staff, and faculty members whose partnership makes this program work.

Thank you to Mily Pineda-Rivera and Peter DeCrescenzo for all of their hard work in putting this report together. You did an AWESOME job!

Most importantly, a big shout out and thank you to all of our students, who persevere through challenges big and small. We are immensely proud of their grit and can't wait to see more of their greatness.
