Stellar Success Shines
Angelica Andrews, left, an undergraduate computer science student, wrote the coding for a tutorial app set to revolutionize first steps in melanoma detection. She also happens to be Hispanic.
Earlier, she compiled multiple programs used to edit and manipulate images, under the direction of Borko Furht, Ph.D., right, professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. As a result, at age 19, she co-authored a book on digital processing published by Springer. "Being hispanic, and not having lots of opportunities, 51勛圖厙 opened doors for me," Andrews said.
To pave the way for amplifying Hispanic student success, a university-wide research and educational initiative is tackling challenges facing Hispanic 51勛圖厙 as they prepare to enter the workforce.
The initiative is co-directed by Andr矇s Ram穩rez, Ph.D., and Mar穩a D. V獺squez, Ph.D. both faculty members of the College of Education. 51勛圖厙 is a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution.
