On March 11, ESF Women in STEM Fields, the ESF Alumni Association celebrated Women's History Month with a career path panel discussion featuring some of many recent alumnae working in STEM fields. Panelists Aislinn Brackman '13 (Paper Engineering), Change Agent/Continuous Improvement Specialist, von Drehle Corporation; Olivia Liu '15 (Landscape Architecture), Assistant Landscape Architect, New York City Parks; Hilary Niver-Johnson '11 (Environmental Science), Proprietor, Sustainable Viticulture Systems; Emily Thiel '14 (Environmental Communications), Education and Outreach Coordinator, WNY Prism.
Debbie Caviness, Director of the Alumni Association asked panelist about their career paths, challenges, and the surprising things about their current work. They also shared frustration of the perception that they were less experienced than male counterparts, even when credentials demonstrate that they indeed are qualified.
This session is a collaboration of the Alumni Association, Career Services, Admissions, and ESF Women's Caucus, for current ESF students and employees as well as for prospective and incoming students.
