Presenters provided innovative ways of thinking, debating, communicating, and publishing. All by providing real and current examples such as the publication of books like Aceptad@ an inspiring paperback by Dr. Nelissa Domínguez who, as a working professional in her field, is able to provide students with a pathway towards their future in higher education. s part of a workshop on discovering and developing new opportunities in the psychology field, Dr. Zahira González (Past President of PAPR), participants used the worksheet below to brainstorm about solutions to a particular problem or opportunity.
