Representing the Underrepresented: Women in STEM Breakfast & Discussion

Women make up half of the total U.S. college-educated workforce, but only 29% of the science and engineering workforce.

On May 8th, we’ll hear from the 29% that are united by a common drive, a hunger for change, and a curiosity to push beyond the status quo.
