Caution but calm. 34k flu-related deaths in 2018/19, 61k in 2017/18. At 30k, toll is 60/week. When media hypes no’s. like 100+/week for #CoVid19 don’t panic. Take reasonable caution cos #COVID19 is new. Economic inactivity causes poverty that kills too #TamuTITIL #FrancisQuek

TITIL lab personnel advised to observe flu-type precautions using hand sanitizers (provided) in labs, and observing distance. @BryanISD #TamuTITIL #FrancisQuek

TITIL has invoked “Flu protocol” for work with many students through our MentorCorps. Mentors are told to call in if they don’t feel well. Will try to cover classes with ‘on call’ mentors. Neal and Jones Elementary teachers are notified. @BryanISD #TamuTITIL #FrancisQuek

At the BISD Latino Father’s Day community event at Neal Elementary School. Community engagement in conjunction with education!!! Organized by teacher, Agustin Lara. #TamuTITIL @BryanISD #FrancisQuek

Yay!!! Our paper “Broadening Participation for Remote Communities: Situated Distance Telepresence”
Osazuwa Okundaye, Francis Quek, and Sharon Chu garnered honorable mention for best work-in-progress at Interaction Design for Children #IDC2019 #TamuTITIL

These events are the result of Mr Agustin Lara’s hard work n persistent dedication. He’s been engaging the community for 22 years. And he is “only” a 4th grade teacher. Nothing “only” about that. Also a A&M doctoral student. Go Lara!!! @TamuTitil @BryanISD

At bilingual graduation for Bryan ISD. Students in bilingual classes. Some will be in regular English classes next year. Most students are first in their families to be proficient in English
