Además de la parte académica, el COLAEIQ es cultura en su más pura esencia. La "Gala Latinoamericana" sigue siendo el evento insignia en cada COLAEIQ. Explicar con palabras la alegría que siento en esta gala sería imposible. ¡arriba Latinoamérica! Y está vez 🇬🇹 y 🇵🇷 juntos! 💙

Advertising the @UFLChE PhD program during #COLAEIQ. I had a great time talking about our PhD program and responding to questions from students. I was recruited for Grad School during COLAEIQ (ages ago!) so I'm trying to give it back! More LatinX ChE grad Gators coming soon!
