Two students have been selected as Sally Casanova Scholars through the CSU’s Pre-Doctoral Program. Jennifer Luevano, a second-year graduate student in the nutrition program, and graduate student Jacob Campbell in the higher education counseling and student affairs program were admitted to the program. Luevano’s research involves the use of metabolomics, the study of small molecules (metabolites) produced by the metabolism of a biological system. She also works at the Cal Poly Metabolomics Service Center, performing data processing and analysis for a variety of metabolomics studies. During her time at Cal Poly, she has contributed to metabolomics research related to COVID-19, head and neck cancer, and gestational diabetes. Campbell, who works as a retention specialist in University Advising, researches the intersection of data, policy and multiraciality in and beyond educational contexts. He is broadly interested in investigating the visibility and/or invisibility of multiracial students as a function of federal, state and institutional policy while interrogating how data shape the ways in which educational institutions see and support multiracial students.
