“Grinnell’s Chapter is Outstanding”
The Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) has given Grinnell its Outstanding New Chapter award.
The organization said the Grinnell chapter’s efforts for 2012–13 “are exemplary of the type of accomplishments and activities that are in line with the SACNAS mission, vision, goals and values.” The awards recognize and showcase outstanding chapter programs or activities and provide an opportunity for other chapters to see what can be done at the chapter level.
The number of SACNAS chapters nationwide grew to 90 this year, up from 60. The chapters represent a national network of talent, energy, community, and passion to develop the next generation of diverse scientists, the group says.
