The Georgia Tech Center for the Study of Women, Science, and Technology welcomes Lucinda Sanders, CEO and co-founder of National Center for Women and Information Technology, as the 2010 WST Distinguished Lecturer.

Titled "Who Invents IT? Women, Technology, & Innovation," the lecture is co-sponsored by the College of Computing and the College of Engineering.

Sanders, who also serves as Executive-in-Residence for the ATLAS Institute at the University of Colorado at Boulder, has worked in research and development for AT&T Bell Labs, Lucent Bell Labs and Avaya Labs for more than 20 years, where she specialized in systems-level software and solutions.

She also serves on the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Board of Trustees at the Unviersity of California at Berkeley, the Engineering Advisory Council at the University of Colorado at Boulder, the National Girls Collaborative Project Advisory Board, the Advisory Board for the Women's College Applied Computing Program at the University of Denver, the ATLAS Advisory Board, and several corporate boards.

WST links issues in the study of science and technology with those of gender, culture, and society. Growing out of the interdisciplinary Ivan Allen College undergraduate minor in Women, Science, and Technology (WST), the WST Center is currently supported by the Office of the Provost.

A reception follows; please RSVP.
