At the beginning of the summer I wished my luck to keep up, and in the end I believe it has been a success of a summer. For me the summer still has a month left but the last 2 with WAGSFP have been fulfilling as I expected it to be. I am not proud…

Testimonial, Blog 9B
I think WAGSFP gave me an experience that everyone should participate in. I am the odd one out as an engineer but I never felt excluded regardless. The research I take part in is amazing and world changing. Even more amazing is all the participants of WAGSFP, who are so passionate about their research. These…
Song of the Summer
[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkQYUl1puCA”] This resonates with how ambitious I have been this summer and how some said I couldn’t do it but now as the summer is winding down, I have done it all. I also connect with a certain level of recklessness Kendrick describes and how he wasn’t supposed to succeed due to where he…
AGHHHH: Not working on something is boring
I made my summer as busy as possible because I knew that if I didn’t, it would mean that I have wasted the opportunity to do all that I can. In that mindset I realize I do not actually have goals. My overall goal and life style is to do as much as possible because…
WAGSFP Reflection
You wouldn’t expect a person with my career path as a nuclear engineer to be part of WAGSFP. I was unsure of how much I could benefit from a primarily humanities based research group. I had conducted archival research for all of my freshmen school year. I expected some general research tips and other advice…
Free Blog: A Month Without My Laptop
??????????????????????????????? I miss my laptop very much. I use it for everything. From my laptop I can learn about every field with a few short key strokes. My laptop also holds everything of importance, from academic work to family photos to video games. I believe a large source of attachment is how I purchased it…
A Day in Research
My day gets pretty hectic and it isn’t just about this research project. I actually have 3 jobs, as well as part of ALMA Core (Assisting Latinx Students to Maximize Achievement) to help plan an orientation for incoming Latinx students. I usually wake up to do my first job as a Summer Conference Assistant at…
Overlooked History
As part of my research I have to work with hundreds of historical documents and they each represent a piece of an individual woman’s narrative. These women have lived through unique experiences but shared many of the same hardships. Through such struggles, they are connected to each other and when displayed together, they paint a…
CHICANA POR MI RAZA
Chicana is a digital archive focused on preserving the Chicana and Latina voices during the civil rights movement as well as the feminist movement. This is crucial because the general history of the movements omits the roles that women of color played. The Civil Rights era is predominantly male and the feminist movement is predominantly white.…
A Little About Me
[su_heading size=”28″]Hey y’all my name is Caiser Bravo. I am originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but came all the way to Michigan to study Nuclear Engineering. I am also minoring in physics and International engineering. Out of this group I’ll be the odd one out as an engineer but I love exploring other fields and learning…
