💥💥 Does providing teachers with personalized feedback and ref-text help them overcome math-gender misconceptions? Only if they have misconceptions to begin with, otherwise, it can backfire! Check out new work from Dersch, Eitel, and me: rdcu.be/e2nHQ

Five UTSA faculty members honored for research achievements bit.ly/3RY2hfB

Last year, our School of Data Science partnered with H-E-B and United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County to provide students with a paid, hands-on experience working with community non-profits. The goal was to advance students’ academic success and career readiness while making an impact in the San Antonio community. Now in its second year, the Data Science & AI Community Innovation Scholars program promises to take these opportunities to the next level. 🤩 Learn more: bit.ly/3Gx6Ue8 #UTSA @UTSAData @HEB @UnitedWaySATX
