Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), women continue to be
underrepresented despite increased efforts to expose women and girls to
the STEM field. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Report,
Women in STEM: A Gender Gap to Innovation, women represent only about
25% of workers in STEM and earn 14% less than what men in the field
earn. In addition, women experience unique challenges throughout their
careers that differ from their male counterparts, such as lack of
mentorship and work/family life balance, etc. Come learn from our
panelists how they have succeeded in their respective disciplines, what
challenges they faced along the way, and what special issues you will
need to consider as a woman in STEM. Advanced registration requested via
