SEAS Center for Women in Engineering hosts pre-launch event

A new center for women in the School of Engineering and Applied Science hosted a panel about communication in the workplace Thursday. The panel, which featured students, faculty and staff in the school, was a pre-launch event for the SEAS Center for Women in Engineering, which will be officially announced on April 26. Panelists spoke about their experiences as women in both the workplace and classroom and offered tips to become more confident and own successes.
Rachelle Heller, a professor of computer science and the event’s moderator, recalled a meeting she attended early on in her career at the University in which a former faculty member looked around a room with two women in attendance and said, There is just too much hormones in this room.
