Committed to Community

For her dedication to creating and developing programs that advance neuroscience and STEM education in the community, Nicole Baganz, Ph.D., director of community engagement and programming with the FAU StilesNicholson Brain Institute, recently earned the Florida Atlantic’s President’s Award for Outstanding Community Engaged Service.

The award was presented at the the 2022 Honors Convocation, an annual ceremony recognizing the university’s most outstanding students and faculty members.

“It is a huge honor to be able to bring neuroscience into our community to teach people of all ages about brain function, current research, and new technologies, and ultimately eliminate stigma that remains attached to many brain disorders,” said Baganz, also a research assistant professor in biomedical science, Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine.
