This year's Project SEED had 9 students over 8 weeks this summer working in different labs and on a variety of projects. Our students were Donovan Miller-Brown, Brooke Daniels, Jeremiah Frasier, Tyler Kirby, Mackey Maddox, Aerial Miller, Raquel Nwosu, J’Lon Owens and Bralon Wilson.

Our mentors this year were Dr. Jakoah Brgoch (UH), Dr. Pieremanuele Canepa (UH), Dr. Melissa Zastrow (UH), Dr. Naihao Chiang (UH), Dr. Jeffrey Rimer (UH), Dr. David Thompson (Sam Houston State Univ.) and Dr. Shawn Liu from Houston Electron Microscopy.

Other coaches working under our mentors were Nakyung Lee, Arslan Akbar, Dr. Wayne Fei, Lihan Fitz, Aashni Khurana, Aris Newton, Harshan Reddy Gopidi, Dr. Uyen Huynh, Oluwaferanmi (Loveth) Isinkaye, Amir Abutali, Sambita Choudhury and Edgar Turizo.

This year Mrs. Carolyn Burnley who has coordinated the program at the local section for over 10 years passed the baton of leadership to Dr. Eme Abu. The transition was smooth and we hope to continue the good work in the coming years! We cannot run a successful program without the help and support of our mentors and coaches, the parents/families of these students, the local section and Project SEED at the National level, and for that we are grateful. We definitely had a blast!
