On Wednesday, February 12, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) hosted the third and final event in its Women’s Dinner Series, which aims to build a community of support for undergraduate and graduate women in ECE.
This event—which was attended by approximately 30 students—featured a panel discussion by ECE alumnae, who shared insights about their career journeys, keys to success in the workplace, and strategies for overcoming challenges.
The panelists were Jennifer Watson (MIT Lincoln Laboratory), Jezabel Vilardell Sanchez (NASA Jet Propulsion Lab) and Samantha Klein (General Dynamics Electric Boat), and the discussion was facilitated by Shana Passonno, Assistant Dean of the Graduate School, Office of Professional Development. Dinner was provided by Formosa.
The previous two events featured presentations on "The Art of Introducing Yourself" and “Building Your Community.”
This series is funded by the OEI Campus Climate Improvement Grant and by the College of Engineering's Career Development and Experiential Learning Center. The organizers are Passonno, Christina Mata (Associate Director of Graduate Career Programs), Emily Krems (ECE Academic Advisor), Yasra Chandio (ECE PhD student), and Sanskruti Khedkar (ECE undergraduate student and peer advisor).
