On Monday, January 11, 2016 a group of GA faculty and administrators, attended a conference on Gender and Sexuality Diversity with Jennifer Bryan Ph.D., sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center and ADVIS. Look for more information about gender and sexuality diversity as those who attended find ways to continue the conversation. Among the numerous topics addressed during the presentation was the issue of gender imbalance in mathematics, science, and technology.
On Friday January 29 from 3-5 pm in the Beard Center for Innovation, Sarah Johnson founder of Techgirlz, will be sharing the curriculum they developed to build the next generation of female technology leaders and close the gender gap in technology occupations. While their curriculum aims to provide middle-school girls with hands-on experiences with different kinds of technology and enable them to interact with women who have carved out successful careers in technology fields, it can be purposed for all ages.
