“

Women comprise 40 percent of STEM degrees, yet only comprise 26 percent of the STEM workforce. Given that women represent half of the world’s population, the inclusion of women in the STEM talent pool is not just an issue of social justice – it is an economic imperative.”

– Dr. Susan Windham-Bannister addressing over 200 international leaders, policymakers, AWIS Members, ambassadors, advocates and students at the United Nations
