She also served as the first associate dean of research for the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech and was later appointed professor and dean of the College of Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University.
Prior to her current position, Meyers served as a program officer in two divisions of the NSF — the Division of Undergraduate Education and the Division of Human Resource Development. Among her many awards and honors include the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, Society of Automotive Engineers Ralph A. Teetor Award and the National Society of Black Engineers’ Golden Torch Award. Meyers has also been inducted into the Academy of Distinguished Engineering Alumni at Georgia Tech.
“The presidential search committee strongly felt that Dr. Meyers’ background in science and technology was the right fit to position Norfolk State as a major player in the areas of scientific research,” said Jack Ezzell, NSU’s rector. “Her extensive academic career, ties to the Hampton Roads region and her deep appreciation of a strong liberal arts program, and HBCU tradition put her over the top.”
