November 2024: Global Ties Hidden No More

 We were once again privileged to host an international group of women in science & technology at Jemison. This year eight ladies from Colombia, Costa Rica, Greece, Guatemala, Jordan, Morocco, Republic of Korea, and Pakistan participated in the State Department program. 

The group first came up to the robotics lab (second floor in the College Academy) and spoke with the students about the team and the robotics program. The visitors each told their story about what they do while the students listened with interest.

We then took the group to see the Advanced manufacturing where they saw the 3D printers they have down there and learned about the Greenpower car, Mechatronics, and Welding programs.

We finished the visit with a group photo under the Mae Jemison portrait in the main hallway. The students were so engaged in the visitors that several exchanged email addresses before the day was out.
