VIEWPOINTS
Engaging in education and outreach inevitably brings change - whether it's working with fifth graders for the first time or working with
hundreds of teachers for the eighth year; collaborating on a proposal or being a partner in a new academic center; getting involved as
a graduate student or as a department chair. Each of these participants has a viewpoint on the experience of engaging in education
and outreach.
As Dr. Bob Chen became involved in education and outreach, his activities and achievements affected those around him - and
changed him, too. Learning how to bridge cultures, think differently about proposals, form new strategic
collaborations, focus on fundamental concepts, explore how people learn, enhance leadership roles, and somehow balance
it all - these are just some of the new skills that Bob's work with COSEE has brought him.
