Diversity
Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge students, faculty, and administrators.
I am involved in a number of initiatives related to under-represented minorities in astronomy and space science:
- Co-Director, Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge program
- Co-Director, Fisk Astronomy and Space Science Training program
- Member, Associated Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) Workforce and Diversity Committee
- Past Chair (2002-2008), American Astronomical Society (AAS) Committee on the Status of Minorities in Astronomy (CSMA)
- Past Editor (2001-2008), SPECTRUM newsletter on diversity in astronomy
- Director, Scopes for Schools astronomy outreach program
The above videos produced by the Vanderbilt News Service
highlight recent diversity achievements of our joint programs
with Fisk University.
See the Vanderbilt Explorations page for a feature on how our diversity efforts mesh with our astronomical research programs. This article from Inside Higher Ed also describes the success of the Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge Program.
