Jamila Eatman, C’2022 - LINCS Scholar
As she continues in academia, Eatman seeks to be a humanitarian engineer -- one who creates positive change to protect the environment and advance water decontamination systems for communities who lack access to clean water. She looks forward to earning her terminal degree within the realm of nanotechnology for the environment and water while becoming a faculty member at a leading research institution.
She deeply understands the need for more young women of color to enter the field of environmental sciences and nanotechnology. Her commitment to public service and community engagement is at the forefront of her mission as a scholar within this field. Her immersion in science was sustained by mentors who believed in her curiosity, and she hopes she can inspire young people in the same way.
“LINCS Scholars are two-year cohorts of women scientists at Spelman College, who aspire to become leaders in STEM. These students contribute dynamic science and diverse perspective to a growing field. Typically, most of our LINCS Scholars reside in Laura Spelman Residence Hall, a social justice dorm on Spelman’s campus."
