You can safely assume M. Katherine Banks is a dedicated multitasker, if her current job titles and duties for The Texas A&M University System are any indication. Banks is vice chancellor and dean of engineering and national laboratories for the Texas A&M University System.

That entails a number of responsibilities, as she oversees coordination and collaboration among the engineering, academic and research programs at seven universities in the Texas A&M system. Further, she oversees three state agencies: the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. Within these parameters, she also oversees administration for more than 4,400 research projects and $300 million in sponsored research awards.
