Historically, women of color have faced considerable challenges pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. “Hidden No More: STEM Women of Color Tour,” lets you hear from four women, who despite these challenges have made significant contributions to their fields and are pushing society forward.

Dr. Jamila Simpson, assistant dean for academic programs, student diversity and engagement for the College of Sciences at NC State; Ann Vaughan Hammond and Peggy Vaughan, daughter and daughter-in-law of Dorothy Vaughan, who was Langley Research Center’s first African American manager; and Dr. Stephani Page, biochemist/ biophysicist in the department of pharmacology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will speak in a panel discussion on what it’s like to be a leader in their field as well as how we can help expand diversity in STEM education.

The event is open to the public.
