In our last newsletter, we celebrated the incredible impact of our team members, and once again, you all came through with even more meaningful shoutouts! It’s amazing to see the appreciation for each other’s work within our community. Here’s what you had to say this time:
- Strong leadership makes all the difference, and some of our teammates have truly gone the extra mile to keep us organized, motivated, and moving forward.
Sundas served as a GRA on the PROSPECT project this past semester. She took leadership on preparing two of the AAAS presentations, and she took on some reading/coding for me at the end of the semester when I (Theresa Jorgensen) was swamped. Sundas was constantly expressing her gratitude for the learning and collaboration opportunities she was able to participate in through PROSPECT. She has been a great member of the PROSPECT group.
Wendy has been an amazing leader for this endeavor! She has fostered a culture that is welcoming and open for everyone. Her organizational skills have kept us on track and it's been a pleasure to work with her on this project. (Mindi)
- At the heart of PROSPECT is collaboration, and everyone appreciates the teammates who listen, contribute, and help move things forward.
I (Theresa Jorgensen) partnered with Chris in work on one of the PROSPECT site visit profiles. He always had his coding done early, made excellent insights, listened receptively to other team members' input, and overall helped to keep the writing process moving. He is a great addition to our PROSPECT team.
Wendy and I (Ali Nemati) had online meeting with each other. That day, as if my heart was heavy and I felt blue. She kindly listened to me and seriously cared about me. I also appreciate her patience.
- Change can be tough, but having the right support makes all the difference.
Rebekah Dupont, Jennifer Brookins-King, Janet Morales' support as I (Matthew Haines) transition into a co-PI role for the PRISM grant has been extraordinary and is greatly appreciated.
