Michelle Delcourt
Over the years, I raised over $35,000 for outreach. I procured institutional funding for and founded
Sonia Kovalevsky Days, a free event promoting STEM to high school girls;
I organized a total of eight such days.
My initiatives have included over thirty field trips to schools in rural Illinois and under-serviced communities in Chicago, reaching over two thousand participants.
In Spring 2016, I received the
Graduate Student Leadership Award from the Graduate College at the University of Illinois (the only one awarded in 2016).
Below is an archive of my outreach materials.
