As EOE Director, Andrea leads Cockrell School of Engineering efforts to recruit and retain ethnically underrepresented students as well as students who have backgrounds or experiences that will contribute to the overall diversity of the School. During her term, Andrea has raised more than $2 million from donors to support the EOE program and its mission. Andrea provides guidance and strategic development for EOE initiatives which serve approximately 900 undergraduate engineering students and 950 pre-college students. Each year, Andrea partners with 35-45 corporations to generate funding to support the program, and to develop a support system for engineering students from diverse backgrounds. She also serves as advisor and provides guidance and training to three engineering student organizations with more than 300 members: Pi Sigma Pi Minority Academic Engineering Society, the National Society of Black Engineers, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
Andrea is an active member of the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates and the American Society of Engineering Education. She has held multiple leadership positions in both organizations at the regional and national level. Currently, she serves as programs chair for the Minorities in Engineering Division in ASEE.
