@gavkhar-a.bsky.social was awarded the Dr. Mabel Spencer Award for Excellence in Graduate Achievement! Gavkhar is the first to receive this award within the College of Ed, noting that “given that Dr. Spencer herself taught at College of Ed, this feels extra good and wholesome to me personally.”

The @umdleadlab.bsky.social and the world lost a bright star this week. Victoria was such a kind, dedicated, and passionate person. She was one of my first students, helping me set up my lab from scratch, and I am honored to have worked with her. There aren't words for how much we will miss her. ❤️
