Dr. Pia-Lauren Reece shares what Black History Month personally means to her through her presentation "Bridge to Excellence: A look at the past to entice change for the future". In this presentation, Dr. Reece weaves together her unique perspective as a scientist, a patent agent, and an individual deeply committed to technological innovation and social progress.

As we delve into the significance of Black History Month through Dr. Reece's eyes, we are reminded of the importance of celebrating the achievements and recognizing the challenges faced by Black individuals throughout history. Let's embrace this opportunity to learn, to grow, and to be inspired by Dr. Reece's journey and the countless stories of resilience, courage, and innovation that Black History Month represents.
