Last week, Erika Estrada, a Ph.D. student in Harris Lab, received the exciting news that she was elected as the 2020-2021 Vice-Chair for the Student Professional Development Group (SPDG) for the International Association of Food Protection (IAFP). In 2021, Erika will step up and serve as the Chair of the SPDG. During her 2-year term, she will work with other board members to facilitate spaces and plan activities that strengthen students’ connections among themselves and the rest of the IAFP community in hopes to foster students' growth and success.  Congrats to Erika!
