Massie Chairs visit the Laboratory

By Erika L. Martinez

July 31, 2008

Potential collaborations discussed

A team of world-class scholars, researchers and educators who advance research, enhance academics, promote partnerships, and effect outreach in the environmental sciences visited the Laboratory recently.

The Samuel P. Massie Chairs of Excellence Program is a Department of Energy program that includes nine participating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and one Hispanic Serving Institution.

According to Dave Foster of the Education and Postdoc Office (STB-EPDO), the primary goal of the meeting was to introduce the 10 Massie Chairs to Lab researchers and managers in their primary research interest areas, with the objective of exploring potential follow-on collaborative research and development and student internship possibilities with the Lab.

Ten NNSA-funded Minority Serving Institutions undergraduate summer interns are working at Los Alamos this summer. Malika Hobbs, NNSA Massie Chairs program manager and coordinator of the MSI student internship program, accompanied the visitors.
