Family of the Year Award Recipients
In 3rd place was first-year Biochemistry major Kyna Huang. Kyna submitted an amazing video in entry in the form of a song discussing the support she receives from all her family members and how they have contributed to her success, even after receiving her first failing grade. For receiving 3rd place, Kyna received a $150 gift card to the UC San Diego Bookstore and framed certificate of recognition. In 2nd place was fourth-year General Biology major Andrea Padilla. Andrea's video entry was a slide show of photos used to support her narration of her journey to and at UC San Diego, how her mother's cancer diagnosis not only affected her life but impacted her choice of major and the research she's done at UC San Diego. For receiving 2nd place, Andrea received a $250 gift card to the UC San Diego Bookstore and framed certificate of recognition. It was wonderful to recognize both students and their families during our Family of the Year Award Celebration this past Homecoming @Home (recording can be viewed on our YouTube channel) and we wanted to share the recipients and their stories with you.

Students who complete all aspects of the program can receive CCR credit. The STEMtorship Network program has been reimagined to be more flexible! Students can register at any time, choose their level of engagement and attend programs that fit their schedules.
