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.
