Women in Scientific & Environmental Professions
Originally offered as a graduate seminar (FOR 797) Spring 1999, (Syllabi
1999, 2000,
2001,
2002, 2003,
2004,
2005, 2006,
2007,
2008 and
2009) this
1-credit class is now also open to upper division undergraduate
students (FOR 496). Participants discuss issues faced by professional
women, such as mentoring and productivity,
and attend presentations of the Women in
Scientific and Environmental Professions Speaker Series,
generally offered immediately after the scheduled class time, in
lieu of that class. Students also meet with the speakers, often for dinner
the evening after their presentations. The speakers
share their experiences in their work environment, and their
perspectives of that environment over time. For this
reason, we try to bring speakers from a variety of employer
types, such as academic, NGO, state agencies, and industry.
Previous campus wide-seminars
have included: Dr.
Donna Perison, International Paper, Jackson, MS "Meeting the Challenge of
Change"; Ellen Ketterson, Indiana University, "Phenotypic
Engineering: Using Hormones to Explore Adaptation and Constraint";
Dr. Shirley Malcom, AAAS, "Bringing Science to People and
People to Science: New Faces --New Places"; Sandra Brown, Winrock
International, Corvallis, OR, "Kyoto, forests and Climate Change".
Please
send speaker suggestions (name, affiliation, field of expertise, why she would be a good
speaker, suggested cosponsors) to Heather Engelman, engelman@syr.edu.
