News & Events

Join the Argonne African American Employee Resource Group (AAA-ERG) on December 10 at 11:00 am as we welcome Argonne’s first Walter Massey Fellow, Kevin Brown!

Paul Kearns and former laboratory director Walter Massey (1979-1984) will join us as we hear from Kevin Brown about the research that garnered him this prestigious honor and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The Walter Massey Fellowship is named for the first African-American to serve as Argonne’s director. Massey  also went on to serve as director of the National Science Foundation. He has also been president of Morehouse College — his alma mater — as well as chairman of Bank of America and president and chancellor of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The idea for the Walter Massey Fellowship originated in the AAA-ERG, and is an example of the many ways that the Laboratory has partnered with its employee resource groups to advance diversity, equity and inclusion at the lab.

Please join us for a special conversation welcoming Argonne’s first Walter Massey Fellow.
