<br>The Office of the Dean of Graduate Education is pleased to announce the opening of this year’s application to our Path of Professorship workshop. This workshop is designed to provide graduate and post-doctoral women with information about academic scientific careers and the application process. Each year we are able to gather a wonderful group of female professors from MIT and beyond to talk about their experiences in academia. This year is no different and we are expecting an exciting and informative weekend.<br>
<br>Path of Professorship will run from Friday, October 26th at 1pm through Saturday, October 27th at 5pm and cover topics ranging from “What Institution is Right for You?” to “The Tenure Process.” More information is available at: <a href="http://odge.mit.edu/development/pop/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://odge.mit.edu/development/pop/</a><br>
<br><b>**The application will close on October 1st and selected applicants will be notified shortly thereafter.<br></b><br>We strongly encourage all women with an interest in academia to apply.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">

Howard Miller’s “We Can Do It!” poster of a young woman in blue work shirt, flexing her muscle and rolling up her sleeve, hung on the walls for all Westinghouse wartime employees to see. Commissioned by the Westinghouse War Production Coordinating Committee, Miller’s illustration was just one in a series of posters designed to boost employee morale and strengthen management-employee relations.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p style><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">That might have been the end of the story...except for what this beguiling young woman has come to represent to women around the world.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p style><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Women old enough to remember WWII, associate her with the millions of women who showed they could do a man’s job...whether that be building P-51s, B-29s, battle ships, trucks and jeeps; manufacturing ammunition for U.S. fighting forces; working in offices; flying transport planes; or driving trucks.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p style><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Rosie’s wartime connection is only the beginning of the story. During the 60s and 70s, another generation resurrected Miller’s image and embraced the poster as its own. She became the symbol of the women’s movement...representing empowerment, strength and equal rights. “We Can Do It!” became their motto.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p style="text-align:left"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Rosie the Riveter embodies women’s ability to step up to a challenge and get the job done. </font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Join WGS in celebrating this iconic image by taking your picture - 10/4/12.</span></p>
