Willie Hobbs Moore Scholarship Harry L. Morrison Scholarship Arthur BC Walker Scholarship The National Society of Black Physicists is pleased to offer scholarships commemorating Drs. Willie Hobbs Moore, Harry L. Morrison and Arthur BC Walker. Dr. Moore was the first African American female to earn the Ph.D. degree in physics. After completing her degree at the University of Michigan and working there for several years as a research scientist, she spent a long and successful career at Ford Motor Company. Dr. Morrison was a legendary figure in the field of mathematical statistical physics, and an inspirational mentor to generations of African American physicists. He was on the physics faculty at UC Berkeley for nearly 30 years, and was an assistant dean until his death in 2002. He was strong student advocate, especially science and engineering students. In the early 70's he was amongst the early UC Berkeley faculty supporters of a degree-granting Black Studies Programs. ...

Is Your Resume Effective?

Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:22:01 GMT

An effective resume quickly sells your your knowledge, skills and abilities to the reader. After reading your resume an employer should feel like they would be missing out if they did not hire you. It is a mistake to think of your resume as a history of your past, as a personal statement or as some sort of self expression. Focus on your employers needs, not yours. A resume is a sales publication, and the product is you. Your prospective employer is the customer. Your resume must convey the message, If you buy this product, you will get these specific, direct benefits. There is no one perfect resume. Each company is different, and some business sectors are used to different formats. If you are a physics graduate different parts of your education will be relevant for any given job. To be most effective, you must tailor your resume the business sector, the company and the exact job you want. But there are some general rules you...

Issues of Equity in Physics Access and Enrollment

Sat, 15 Oct 2011 14:34:28 GMT

High school physics is a gateway course for post-secondary study in science, medicine, and engineering, as well as an essential component in the formation of students' scientific literacy. Yet, despite reports to the contrary, the availability of physics as a course for high school students is not equitably distributed throughout the United States. While some schools provide physics for all who wish to take it, a more common scenario is limited availability. This is particularly true in urban districts, where physics is not universally available in secondary school. The existence of policies that restrict science opportunities for secondary students results in diminished outcomes in terms of scientific proficiency. Recently researchers at Columbia University examined the 316 secondary schools in the New York City Public School system to identify factors related to availability of physics courses. New York City's (population 8.1 million) public schools system is the...

History The Pre-College Program Committee (PPC) of the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) was initated in June 2005 with the joint efforts of Dr. Paul Guèye (Physics Department, Hampton University), Dr. Aisha Fields (Physics Department, Alabama A&M University) and Ms. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (Physics Department, University of California, Santa Cruz). In 2007, Dr. Teri Robinson (Jackson State University) and Samiyah Farid (Alabama A&M University) were added to the team. Goals The Pre-College Program Committee of the National Society of Black Physicists was created to foster the education, knowledge and provide opportunities in physics education to pre-college students, in particular the African-American community. Symbol PPC symbol, the Baobab tree, has been chosen because it represents: endurance (survival and life in sometimes harsh conditions), conservation, creativity, ingenuity, protection and dialogue (place to gather and meet). It is...
