The importance of female role models: A note from Donna
Hi, I’m Donna Milgram, the Executive Director of IWITTS. I just want to take this moment to share with you how excited I am about these posters. These are the first posters that IWITTS has developed ourselves and we can’t wait for you to see them!
I believe that many of you are as committed as I am to increasing the number of women in technology careers. The key to doing that is using images, like those in the posters, of female role models on the job. Women don’t think of themselves in careers like engineering, construction, manufacturing, and auto technology because the percentage of women working in these jobs is still so small.
By hanging these posters in your hallways, classrooms and around campus, you’ll help imprint images of female role models in the minds of your female (and male) students. These images send a positive counteracting message and help women picture themselves in these occupations.
Don’t let any more potential students miss out on high-paying, rewarding careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Women bring a different perspective to the classroom and the workplace. It’s up to you to help them picture themselves in these careers!
I hope you’ll find these posters to be a valuable tool in your tool belt as you work towards increasing the number of female students in your classes!
Best regards,
Donna
