Hixson's current major responsibilities include serving as Program Lead for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program (STEP) and for the Higher Education Centers for Learning and Teaching (HE-CLT). Previously she served as Lead for the Adaptation and Implementation Track of the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement Program (CCLI-A&I), the Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Program (UFE), and the Systemic Changes in the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum Initiative (Chemistry Initiative).
Prior to coming to the NSF, Dr. Hixson was a faculty member in chemistry at Mount Holyoke College for 20 years, and she also served as Chair of the Program in Biochemistry for six years during that period. Her research program at Mount Holyoke focused on the photoaffinity labeling of enzymes with aryl azide reagents. She received her Ph.D. degree in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and her B.S.Chem. degree from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
