HBCUs, HSIs & TSUs: How Do We Partner for Greater Research Opportunities?
Bertha Haro - Director - Great Minds in STEM
Dr. Juan Rivera - Great Minds in STEM
Bryan Stevens - Chief, Workforce Strategy & Data Intelligence - U.S. Air Force
Dr. Talitha Washington - Program Director - National Science Foundation
Alexandra Liang - Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow - Office of Senator Jacky Rosen
There are over 700 institutions in the United States which are designated as ‘minority serving institutions’ which serve a broad demographic across the nation. According to recent reports, they graduate more undergraduates in the STEM disciplines than majority institutions. For example, HBCUs comprise only 3% of the engineering departments across the country, but gradate 30% of the nation’s Black engineers at the undergraduate level. Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are increasing growing as the Latino population continues to grow. Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) are seeking to empower their students with the skills that will serve their communities to decrease both economic and health disparities. There are programs at the Federal level which fund research as it relates to these MSIs.
But what if we were to broaden the dialogue and start to work together? Could we forge alliances among are various institutions to create greater synergies in sponsored research, leading to outcomes that enrich our communities and unite us as a nation?

Leadership in the Age of Hip Hop (Presented by The Raytheon Company)
Rodney Bailey - Mission Assurance Director
Olu Bolden - Director
Trevor Dunwell - Program Manager Director
LaKindra Francis-Jones - Mission Assurance and Quality Engineering Director
Carol Wooden - Program Management Director
With a rich history of innovation spanning more than 100 years, Raytheon is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security, and other government markets. Raytheon’s success can be attributed to creating a diverse work environment where respect is a core value. The black employee population at Raytheon is comprised mostly of generation X, Y, millennials and soon generation Z. One commonality between these generations that separates them from the baby boomers that preceded them is that they have been heavily influenced by the hip hop music culture. The hip hop culture is about embracing who you are and where you come from. Long gone are the days of assimilating and losing your cultural identity while pursuing your career in a technical industry. This workshop will explore the journey of men and women who are navigating their career at Raytheon and how hip hop has influenced the directions they have taken in maintaining their authenticity and successfully growing in an environment that is also changing and adapting to different cultures.
Come hear how these leaders have brought the tenants of leadership forward tightly coupled with the influence of hip hop, the desire to go against the grain, and the acceptance of being uniquely different. These Raytheon leaders are using their differences to stand out to blaze new trails and expand possibilities all while being an authentic leader and a valued mentor.
These leaders lead a little differently and this makes all the difference at Raytheon.

Stephanie Easter - (FMR) Acting Assistant Secretary, Acquisition, Logistics & Technology
Adrienne Somerville - National Industrial Business Operations Manager - U.S. Navy
Dr. Jared Riddick - Director of the Vehicled Technology Directorate
Learning Objective: Examine leveraging diverse and integrated teams to build future technologies and capabilities
The saying, “two heads are better than one,” applies to the future defense environment. Tomorrow’s defense environment will be filled with converged challenges. From cyberwarfare to undermining political systems, the Armed Services need to be prepared to create solutions to problems that have been unseen in the past. It is clear that any individual organization cannot solve these issues on their own. To combat future challenges, the Defense Community must take a new approach to problem solving, and leverage individuals with new skillsets whom they may not have traditionally partnered with in the past. It takes more than just bringing different voices to the table, the individuals need to integrate as a team in order to fully leverage the power of the collective and solve these complex challenges. Join Subject Matter Experts from the Army, Navy and Industry to discuss the challenges and rewards of effectively building diverse teams.
At the end of the session participants will:
- Explore the importance of a diverse collective to solve complex defense challenges.
- Learn various techniques to unify a diverse team.
- Understand how to identify and capitalize on other’s strengths.

Turning Disruptors Into Enablers (Presented by The Boeing Company) [Part 2]
Michael Cox - Vice-President, Global Head of Talent
Denise Russell-Fleming - Vice President of Information Technology
Kristin Robertson - Vice President and General Manager
David Canada - IT & Data Analytics
Raenaurd Turpin - Chief Engineer & CTO
It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. Real or imagined needs have always inspired a search for new and better ways to meet those needs. Along that journey, challenges present themselves requiring changes in course. Some of these changes are incremental steps while others are paradigm shifts. All can lead to accelerated progress if the obstacles are perceived as opportunities for positive change.
In our constantly evolving and interconnected world, the need for change arises quickly and often, enabling innovation and success. However, when unprepared or unwilling to change, this can disrupt and even halt growth. Do we welcome new trends by ignoring them, adapting to them, or are we the ones introducing them? What realities must be faced to make meaningful impact both globally and locally? Are we taking risk by trying different things and trying things differently to get better rates of return on our efforts? As individuals, communities, and companies, we must re-think, re-invent, and re-invest to reach our full potential.
The Boeing Company is a global leader in the aerospace and defense industry and has been for over a century. Come discuss with Boeing Leadership about how to embrace diversity and inclusion. How to convert disruptors in technology, business, and your personal development into enablers for achievement.
