Latino Graduate of Penn State Enters Nuclear Science Field Jonathan Madary & Penn State Engineering Graduates -Next Generation of Scientific Talent

Latino Graduate of Penn State Enters Nuclear Science Field Jonathan Madary & Penn State Engineering Graduates -Next Generation of Scientific TalentEl Hispano/James Smith Philadelphia - “We must recalculate our existing strategies and find new ways to encourage, engage and excite Latino students to pursue math and science fields,” said the Vice President of the National Education Association Lily Eskelsen, in an address to the 2010 “Nuestro Futuro” Latino Education Conference. “America cannot continue to prosper without improvements in the educational and economic status of Latinos.” As a young boy, Jonathan Madary was a familiar presence at the offices of El HiSPANO News. While running errands, filling the copy machine or even downloading and preparing photos, he was always eager to learn from and help his Grandfather Aaron G. Lopez, the newspaper’s Editor- Publisher. Watching from a corner seat as Mr. Lopez and Mother -Advertising Director Madelyn Madary welcomed the occasional visits of Governors, Senators and business leaders, Jonathan had an unusual opportunity to witness the impact of rapidly changing technology on a family business. On Friday, May 4th, 2012, Jonathan Madary joined 1,009 Penn State University engineering students at the University’s Bryce Jordan Center for graduation ceremonies, receiving a baccalaureate degree in Nuclear Engineering, the only Latino of 55 graduates in the University’s Nuclear Engineering program. “I always had an interest in mathematics and science, so I wanted to use those attributes,” in a future career, Jonathan said of his chosen field. “I definitely wanted to do something technical.” Jonathan Madary’s next step is Officer Candidate school in Newport, Rhode Island, where he will put his engineering education into the service of the country as a Naval Officer on a Nuclear Submarine. Addressing a Commencement-day audience of more than a thousand engineering graduates and their families, Robert D. Braun, a former Senior Manager for Engineering at NASA and director of the Space Systems Design Laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology said, “We are a nation of Dreamers. A nation never satisfied with the status quo. A nation continually striving to out-innovate ourselves in the creation of new knowledge and new capabilities. A nation that remains full of opportunity.” “There is no better place or better time to be an engineer,” added Mr. Braun. “The 21st century will be won by those who innovate, seek breakthroughs and develop new technologies. You are this country’s future and your future is bright. Be innovative. Take risks. Apply your energy, your skills and your education to problems that stir your passions.” While acknowledging the influence of his family and high school teachers, Jonathan says Associate Professor of Engineering Ivan Esparragoza was particularly encouraging, “He really pushed students.” Professor Esparragoza has been honored with international awards for his work of providing resources and opportunity to encourage Latino and other minority students to participate in engineering and technology fields. To Latino students who are considering scientific and technology fields, Jonathan’s advice, “If you’re interested, push yourself to learn more.” Initially, “you might not think it’s worth it, but later you’ll see the greater good” that can be achieved. “Mathematics and science are the building blocks for new and bigger things,” and tools for “problem solving and critical thinking,” he said. “Look at the iPhone. If it weren’t for the scientists and technologists” it would not have been possible. A former employee of a top east coast engineering firm, Madelyn Madary was pleased with the decision of her son to pursue a career in nuclear science: “I knew he had a good aptitude for math and enjoyed physics,” said Ms. Madary, so it was a matter of choosing the right school. “It’s not always about the money” added Ms. Madary, “it’s finding something you enjoy doing.” Born in Puerto Rico and a longtime Assistant Editor for El HiSPANO, Sara Lopez was equally “proud” of Jonathan’s achievement. “I live for him, he is my inspiration,” she said. “I’ve always tried to do the best for him, set a good example and be strong for him.” The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that jobs in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), will grow 22 percent in the decade leading up to 2014, requiring up to two million new science, technology, engineering and mathematics professional to fill the void left by the departure of retirees. While the growing Hispanic population now make up more than fifteen percent of the total U.S. population, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that only 3.4 percent of the science and engineering jobs are held by Latinos. Among the hurdles faced by the nation’s ten million Latino students is that almost half are not fully proficient in English. The National Education Association contends that, “a lack of proficiency in English has equaled a lack of confidence in other subjects, like math and science.” Therefore, the role of “professional development” such as Hispanic mentors, counselors and teachers, are a critical piece for engaging Latino students. “Math and science careers are where the job sector is moving toward,” said the NEA’s Eskelsen. “We have a real opportunity to prepare the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population and create the next generation of scientific talent - and fill the math and science shortage.”
