In 2010, she led the A&T team that developed the National 4-H Science Youth Day experiment which was used to teach millions of K-8 students worldwide about water quality, energy use and global warming.
During her tenure as department chair from 2016 to 2020, Luster-Teasley Pass increased enrollment, revived alumni support and engagement to include service and donations, and successfully renewed Architectural Engineering Program Accreditation and Civil Engineering Program ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology) Accreditation, among many other accomplishments.
The BEYA Leading Voices Summit on Friday, June 7 aims to build on an important CCG magazine article about minorities in research science.
It will feature the latest innovations from companies highlighted in USBE magazine's annual Top Supporters of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Engineering Schools list.
North Carolina A&T State University is one of the 17 HBCUs with ABET-accredited engineering schools.
The seminar will explore the legacy of HBCUs and their influence on shaping future leaders.
The panel will include alumni representing prominent corporations and government agencies who have risen from HBCUs to top leadership positions in industry, government, and academia, showcasing the transformative power of these institutions.
The speakers will include Merlin Theodore, group leader, advanced fibers manufacturing, Oak Ridge National Laboratories; Thomas Rush, international regional director, Pasco Scientific; and Michelle Penn-Marshall, vice president for research & innovation, Texas Southern University.
Through their insightful stories and experiences, we will examine the diverse contributions of HBCUs to academia, industry, and society.
