Hispanic Engineer magazine’s Top Hispanics of the Decade features men and women who had some remarkable achievements during 2010-2019. Over the next couple of weeks, we will look at how their work and contributions will impact lives beyond 2020. Or, you can click here to read the full article in the spring issue of Hispanic Engineer magazine.

After a 10-year tenure as director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (2005-2015), Dr. Dan Arvizu retired as director emeritus.

In 2018, Dr. Arvizu became Chancellor and Chief Executive of the New Mexico State University System. NMSU is one of the foremost Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs).

Arvizu is the second alumnus and first Hispanic to be hired as the NMSU System chancellor and chief executive.  He earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from New Mexico State University, and a master’s degree and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University.

As a first-generation college graduate, he is championing efforts highlighted throughout the university’s strategic plan, NMSU LEADS 2025.

Watch this space for more influential people in the teaching, and learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), information technology (IT) and professional services, banking and investment, clean energy, and equal opportunity.
