CBC Grad Student Sydney Cordova

CBC continues to celebrate Hispanic Heritage! Join us as we highlight members of our community while they share their stories of success and inspiration!

"Hi! My name is Sydney Cordova, I am a third-year grad student in the Sanov Lab working on photoelectron spectroscopic imaging. I am honored to have received the Kathryn K. and James Steele Scholar award. This award highlighted people with a commitment to advancing women in the field of chemical sciences. I have stood as PAWS secretary for the past two years where I have been a part of elementary school STEM nights and events here on campus like the annual Spooktacular. I have also been able to help with the recruitment and orientations in the department. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible for me!
