HAMPTON, Va. (April 16, 2021) Dr. Rupak Dua, an assistant professor in Hampton University’s Department of Chemical Engineering in the School of Engineering and Technology, was recently awarded a supplement award of $59,7000 for his continuing Research Initiation Award by the National Science Foundation. The supplement award will allow Dua to acquire a benchtop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) that can magnify to 175,000x without a dedicated operator.
“Congratulations to Dr. Rupak Dua on receiving another exciting and very deserving award. His work is sure to make strides in the biomedical field,” said Hampton University President, Dr. William R. Harvey. “Our faculty at Hampton University continue to make important contributions to society. Their research is being recognized in their respective fields as well as making an impact on the global community.”
“Faith is taking the first step even when we can’t see the staircase,” says the Rev. Bernard Keels, dean of University Memorial Chapel at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. “The staircase is quite evident now,” he says with pride. “People are climbing.”
I have asked Keels to tell me the story of Morgan State. Like many of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Morgan State has deep roots in the Christian faith. Within a year of Abraham Lincoln’s signing the Emancipation Proclamation, black leaders in Maryland’s Methodist Episcopal Church had already set their sights on both spiritually uplifting and educating their communities. “Pastors began to meet to discuss how the church could be the catalyst for establishing a university,” Keels explains.
