in 2014, she was part of the eight members of LULAC that were selected to receive $20.000 to implement a local dropout prevention program in partnership with an educational entity to help enforce Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with programs focused on the use of technology and art. The council will partner with Fluid New Media Labs, a New York City-based project that is part of a not-for-profit organization supporting, producing, and promoting creative works in collaboration with multimedia artists and a participatory audience. Students will learn about STEM through activities that use digital media, which will get students engaged in high school activities. Leadership workshops, field trips to museums and area colleges, career exploration opportunities, and incentives for students will enhance the program. They will also organize parental involvement workshops to help parents be strategic for their children’s college education.
