Speaker Bio
Dr. Nieves Angulo is a Full Professor and the first Chairwoman in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Hostos Community College (HCC). She has a BA and MA in Mathematics from Hunter College of CUNY, and a MS an EdD in Mathematics Education from Columbia University. Dr. Angulo has taught Mathematics for over 30 years in the CUNY, SUNY and private university system.
She worked in the development and implementation of the Dual/Joint (JD) Engineering Programs at HCC while doing research at The Metro-Math: The Center for Mathematics in America’s Cities at the Graduate Center of CUNY which researched the mathematics component of the New York City Teaching Fellows Program. Furthermore, Dr. Angulo has worked on numerous grants aimed to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the STEM fields. For example, she had a joint NASA grant with City Tech of CUNY “Achieving Proficiency in Engineering Research and STEM Education Through NASA Initiatives” that created internships to do research for Hostos’ students at NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where Dr. Angulo took Hostos students during the summer months. Also, she worked on a grant from the US DoE, “The Alliance for Continuous Innovative Learning Environments in STEM” in conjunction with the Grove School of Engineering at City College to improving STEM students’ skills by providing hands-on in multidisciplinary team-oriented experiences and maintaining a continuous learning environment across and within the pipeline from high-school to community college to senior college. Furthermore, Dr. Angulo is working at the present time in two NSF S-STEM scholarship programs “Hostos Engineering Academic Talent” (HEAT) and “Mathematics and Computer Science Scholars” (MACSS) that provide financial support to STEM students in Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science to develop scholars’ academic performances while the mentoring components are at the core of both programs. At the center of all the positions and activities that Dr. Angulo has been involved with through the years, her students have been and are the driving force to keep pushing new frontiers for the good and benefit of all.
