WOMEN OF COLOR AWARD WINNERS
alika Hobbs has a unique skill: identifying solutions to promote science, technology, engineering and math education at all levels. Her contributions have given life, breadth, and depth to the diversity and inclusion vision of the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration—a semi-autonomous agency within the DOE responsible for enhancing security through the military application of nuclear science in the nation’s national security enterprise.
Ms. Hobbs is one of the chief architects of the NNSA’s $90 million flagship program, comprised of 27 institutions. The primary goal of the Minority-Serving Institutions Program is to provide training and educational development to prepare students for future careers in science, technology, engineer- ing and math fields. Under Ms. Hobbs’ leadership, the NNSA has been named one of the “Top Supporters of Historically Black Colleges and Universities” for the past three years.
Through the DOE’s Dr. Samuel P. Massie Chairs of Excellence program, $28 million is provided to 14 historically black colleges and one Hispanic-serving institution. Dr. Samuel P. Massie was the first African American professor at the U.S. Naval Academy.
Ms. Hobbs implemented the NNSA’s first Minority-Serving Institutions Intern Program. Since its inception, more than 200 minority students have participated in a 10-week sum- mer internship at NNSA sites and laboratories. She also de- veloped the Massie Chair Fellows program to enhance high school students’ interest in STEM—as a result of the program, more than 4,000 students per year were introduced to STEM through hands-on instruction. She also designed NNSA’s Afri- can American youth symposium, with more than 700 middle and elementary school students taking part. Ms. Hobbs is a Future Leaders Fellow of the Council of Excellence in Government.
