Introduction
In 1987, Congress declared March Women’s History Month.
Where were you in 1987?
I was a young professional at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. I served as the Off-Campus Job Coordinator. By the way, the campus boasts one of the most stunning views of New York City. Just saying.
My job’s goal was simple. To coach and counsel students through the job search process. In hopes of obtaining the “perfect summer job” for them.
At the time, Stevens had a student body of about 20% female students. By 2023, the number of females enrolled increased to 33%. Which aligns with the 70/30 gender ratio in engineering (and STEM).
Time Tells All
Does time really tell all?
Probably not. But we do know time keeps marching on. And that is why is it so important to look at the timeline.
The facts.
The actions.
The laws.
The mountains that have been climbed to get us where we are now.
So, we are back to: Where were you in 1987? Care to dish?
Next time, we will take a deep dive into the Women’s History timeline.
