  • by Cody Kitaura

Three members of the CBS faculty community have been named Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Science (CAMPOS) scholars. The prestigious honor provides mentorship, support and community to new faculty members.

Felicity Muth, an assistant professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, and Martine Therrien, an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and the Center for Neuroscience, and Antonio Serapio-Palacios, who will join the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics as an assistant professor in 2025, are among the six new CAMPOS scholars on campus. The scholars program is a continuation of the campus commitment to welcome diverse voices.

“Faculty members like these bring diverse perspectives and backgrounds that are vital to spur creativity and discovery,” Chancellor Gary S. May said at the induction ceremony Nov. 6 at the Manetti Shrem Museum. “Empowering diverse researchers and scholars is key to finding solutions to society’s greatest challenges and building a stronger, more equitable future.”
