Ms. Tee Hawkins, MS, MA
Academic and/or Professional Experience:
I am an 8th year STEM Educator currently teaching Chemistry for the 4th straight year.
HBCU Attended and Degree:
I attended Johnson C Smith University (Charlotte, NC) on a 4-year academic scholarship. While there I completed multiple research projects which led to a BS in Chemistry with a Mathematics minor.
Why did you consider going to an HBCU/ teaching at an HBCU?
I choose to attend a Historically Black College/University thanks to inspiration from my Grandaddy. Education was instilled as a priority from a very young age. I understood that I would go college after high school but he stated that a Black college would help me learn the history and foundation of the education of a Black American. JCSU helped me understand how my education and the education of other minorities, especially women, can be an asset to the community and an even greater benefit to STEM.
Any Extracurricular or Volunteer Activities: While teaching chemistry in Washington DC, I have advised the KCP Chemistry Club for 4 years. We meet weekly to complete lab experiments, conduct Chemistry Fairs for the entire school, and provide exposure to multiple STEM careers through guest speakers. I am also the Head Women’s Softball and Asst. Women’s Soccer Coach. Through clubs and sports we motivate young adults to succeed in the classroom and obtain an amazing education.
Are you a member of CSW? Yes, for 2 years.
