Can virtual external quality assurance work for HE?
The COVID-19 pandemic caught everyone by surprise. Almost all ongoing quality assurance reviews involving campus visits were put on hold and-or deferred. After the initial few months, external quality assurance agencies (EQAAs) had to make decisions.

For infectious disease researcher María Soledad Ramírez, her ultimate goal is to contribute to the fight against drug resistance.
A native of Buenos Aires with experience in molecular microbiology and clinical research, Ramírez came to Cal State Fullerton in fall 2014. Since, she has established an active and groundbreaking antibiotic-resistance research program that involves undergraduate and graduate students at every step.
With antibiotic-resistant bacteria causing millions of infections and thousands of deaths each year, her work focuses on one bacterium of particular concern: Acinetobacter baumannii. It is one of the most powerful and deadly bacterial pathogens and hard to eradicate in people with weakened immune systems and in hospital settings.
