Jason served as the co-instructor for BIOE 620: Tissue Engineering as an inaugural awardee of Rice University’s Future Faculty Fellows program. As co-instructor, Jason developed an undergraduate curriculum that employed real-world clinical case studies to engage students in the critical analysis and application of scientific technology.
Jason also founded and developed the Organization for Community Advocates – Students and Mentors Achieving Readiness Together (OCA SMART) program to help train underrepresented K-12 students in leadership, communication, and public speaking skills. OCA SMART involved a year-long training curriculum, in addition to one-on-one mentorship for students who aspired to become first-generation college students.
