STUDENT ROLE MODEL
TO OTHERS: Graduate student Nina Hickland has gone above and
beyond her responsibilities
As passers-by
greet Nina Hickland outside the Starbucks in the Student Center, she's
quick to respond.
focusing on her
friends, it seems easier for her to avoid talking about herself.
Hickland, a
22-year-old graduate student studying electrical engineering from
Chicago, is modes when talking about her accomplishments, but it is
clear from speaking with her and others that she excels in her field ob
study. Mandara Savage, assistant professor in the Department of
Technology, said many people look up to her as a model student.
Hickland came to
SIUC after being invited by the Minority Engineering Program, asn
academic support organization to increase enrollment, retention and
graduation rates of minority students in engineering. After taking
some basic survey course, she said she was hooked.
"When I came to
college I wanded to learn how to design cutting edge technology," she
said.
Electrical
Engineering seemed a natural choice for her because she always had an
interest in math and science, she said. During her college career;
she has had many internships and is now the president of the SIUC
chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers.
In the summer of
2005, Hickland had an internship with IBM in Vermont. She said it
was a great opportunity because she could see technical development.
In addition, she was able to be around some very talented engineers and
see the lessons she has learned in the classroom applied to real life.
Recently, Hickland
was involved with the Department of Justice over certain fellowships the
government claimed were racially exclusive. As a recipient of one
of the debated fellowships, Hickland took a proactive approach to make
students aware of what was happening, going beyond any of her
responsibilities to get other involved , Savage said.
Hickland said the
ordeal, where the government threatened to sue the University if it did
not open up the programs, was a time of confusion because she was
unaware how the process would affect her. A recipient of the
Bridge to the Doctorate fellowship from the National Science foundation,
Hickland, said she support the fellowship because it affords many
students the opportunity to go to advance their education, she said.
Tiffany Battle, a
junior studying English education from Bellwood, said she has know
Hickland for three year, and she has seen how her friend has been an
inspiration to many people.
While Hickland is
quiet at times, she has the leadership abilities to step up when it is
needed. She said Hickland lends her hand to student in the
Minority Engineering program lab, even though it is not her job, because
she is giving.
"I hope to have an
impact on someone like Nina has had on me." Battle said..
