VCPWA representatives invited to speak are: Anitha Balan (Transportation), Alison Sweet (Transportation), Ewelina Mutkowska (Watershed Protection District) and Susan Pan (Water and Sanitation District). Topics set for discussion include the professionals’ area of study, how women in this profession are regarded, opportunities for working in science and engineering, their background in engineering, and what led them to their career paths at VCPWA. Members of the organization will be able to ask questions during the panel to gain a clearer perspective about their next steps in the field.

Founded in 2001, WiSE is a non-profit UCSB campus organization. It was created to promote equal opportunity for women in science and engineering that will help improve their scientific and career advancement.
