Distinguished Women Scientists and Engineers
Speakers Program

Initiated in 2002, this lecture series creates greater visibility for distinguished women in their respective fields. In bringing these accomplished professionals to campus—each woman an outstanding example of achievement and success in science and engineering—the program offers encouragement to our female students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty.
