Liberal Arts and Science Academy High School dual-credit biotechnology teacher Joseph Oleniczak and Austin Community College District professor Kissaou Tchedre have received a $385,845 grant award from the National Science Foundation to establish a DNA sequencing and genomics program at LASA.
This is a virtual event for graduating seniors to sign up for training, internships and full-time employment opportunities offered by Austin area employers. (For example, City of Austin Fleet Services will hire two students through their high school graduate internship program; once students complete the internship program, they will be eligible for full time employment with benefits). Focus will be on high skill/high demand jobs in healthcare, information technology, manufacturing & skilled trades (mechanics, programmers, carpenters, electricians etc).

Austin ISD’s Equity Officer Dr. Stephanie Hawley will be participating in a program with the Harvard Graduate School of Education called Bravely Confronting Racism in Higher Education.
Bravely Confronting Racism in Higher Education is a new program that will enable participants to effectively confront issues of inequality and racism within higher education from various perspectives.
As part of the program, Dr. Hawley will participate in a panel discussion on how practitioners can start or continue their personal journeys as anti-racist leaders.
