Dr. El-Hakim is currently Coordinator for the Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering (BRIGE) Program and is also responsible for envisioning ways to accomplish NSF's strategic goals as they relate to broadening participation in the engineering community that enhances equity and diversity. One of Dr. El-Hakim's visions is to reach out to international communities to provide global opportunities benefiting students and faculty, both nationally and internationally. She is a steadfast advocate for women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities across the nation.
