Group of students learning in the classroom during COVID

Associate professor Becky Huang in the Bicultural Bilingual Studies Department (BBL), has received an additional grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on bilingual and dual language learning (DLL) elementary students. This award serves as a supplemental to Huang’s original 2019 grant, currently in its third and final year, which has enabled her to research language development in bilingual/DLL students.

UTSA COEHD Alum Janeth Martinez-Cortes, Ph.D. is the newest addition to a team of researchers assembled from a diverse array of departments within UTSA’s College of Education, College of Engineering, and College of Sciences. Joining the program "Building STEM Capacity: Transforming STEM Undergraduate Education through Academic Literacy, Mentoring, and Professional Development", Martinez-Cortes offers unique insight on a nearly $1.8 million dollar grant awarded to the school through the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program.
