During the visit to D.C., the fellows and Gladis participated in advocacy training on communicating effectively with elected officials and the media. CNAS Associate Dean Stephanie Dingwall and three CNAS students also participated in the program. As a team, the students were great advocates, articulating the impact of their research experiences on their academic trajectories, career aspirations, and the broader impact of their research. <strong>They engaged in conversations with the offices of Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Adam Schiff, and Representative Mark Takano</strong>.</span></span></p>

These conversations emphasized how investment in research empowers the next generation of scientists and engineers. It was rewarding to witness the Senior CRFs advocating effectively for undergraduate research and representing the impact of research opportunities at UCR, not just for them but also for the many first-generation UCR students. This was a transformative experience for all participants!</span></span></p>
