“Dr. White brings a wealth of experience in leading federal\/state\u00a0programs that are recognized as trusted partners in developing innovative research and outreach applications within North Carolina and across the nation,\u201d notes Alan Rebar, NC State\u2019s vice chancellor for research, innovation and economic development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting time for North Carolina Space Grant,\u201d notes White, a previous member of the consortium\u2019s advisory council. \u201cIn particular, I am eager to leverage its vibrant programs \u2014 including strong partnerships with industry \u2014 to equip the current and future workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

N.C. Space Grant, which receives funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration<\/a>, is a consortium of 13 academic institutions to develop and support\u00a0aeronautics and space-related science, engineering, and technology education and training statewide. Partners include industry, nonprofit organizations and state agencies.<\/p>\n

Sea Grant receives funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a>, while WRRI is funded by the U.S. Geological Survey.<\/a> Those programs support targeted research, outreach and education projects to address critical issues.<\/p>\n

Space Grant and Sea Grant already co-sponsor graduate research fellowships that fund research within North Carolina\u2019s nearshore environs and coastal watersheds, by utilizing relevant measurement instruments and data from NASA and NOAA.<\/p>\n

All three applied-research programs also reach into community colleges, K-12 schools, and informal educational institutions, such as museums, observatories and marine centers. This year, Space Grant outreach events related to the total solar eclipse tallied than 100,000 people.<\/p>\n

White previously was director of NOAA\u2019s Hollings Marine Laboratory\u00a0in Charleston, S.C. Formerly the national research coordinator for\u00a0NOAA\u2019s Estuarine Reserves Division and National Estuarine Research Reserve System<\/a>, she has served on national and regional steering committees on topics including technology transfer, integrated drought monitoring and early warning, and climate\u2019s connections to health.<\/p>\n

She earned a doctorate from the\u00a0University of Georgia<\/a>\u00a0and a bachelor\u2019s degree from\u00a0Duke University.<\/p>\n
