Maroon Minute honors Dr. Jill Black’s contributions to science teaching

Dr. Jill Black’s passion for science led her to teach, and hopefully inspire others to not only become a scientist, but to teach the sciences as well.

Across the U.S., there is a monumental movement to increase the number of women in science related fields. A key to that movement is getting young women interested in their science courses.

This is something Jill Black, associate professor of geography at Missouri State University, understands.

For her efforts in this area, she was awarded the 2013 Science Teachers of Missouri Distinguished Service Award. This award, given by the Science Teachers of Missouri, recognizes teachers who have made a significant contribution to the field of science teaching.

Maroon Minutes highlight Missouri State University’s points of pride: the accomplishments of our faculty, staff, students and supporters. Each Maroon Minute first airs during a home football or basketball game.
