Outreach Activities
The heart and soul of CASFER are the people - the students, the researchers, the staff, everyone who makes CASFER what it is. We believe that the truest measure of CASFER is the success of our people and the impact we make in our communities.
One way in which CASFER strives to establish this success is by promoting and cultivating a culture of outreach and engagement. In order to create this culture, CASFER provides outreach activities at least twice a year for all CASFER members. These sessions are designed to enable CASFER members with a chance to learn and grow, not only as scholars, but as leaders in their communities. We are all students, eager and willing to learn, and the Outreach Activities provide a place to learn about a variety of topics that promotes participation and acceptance of different perspectives and backgrounds.
The Outreach Activities are offered online and are completed simultaneously between all partner universities.
Stress Management: Navigating Challenges and Overcoming Barriers
Dr. Jennifer Rojas-McWhinney
Dr. Jennifer Rojas-McWhinney discussed mental health and how to navigate the difficulties and stresses of university programs with members of CASFER's Student Leadership Council and other CASFER scholars. This was a collaborative and interactive space, where students could freely discuss and share as they were comfortable, while also learning about ways to navigate stress and anxiety.
Outreach & Engagement Team
Dedication & Community
The Outreach & Engagement team is a multi-disciplinary team comprised of experts in education, engineering, and other related fields. The team is distributed across our partner institutions to ensure the active participation and distribution of outreach initiatives across all communities that CASFER represents.
