When Joy Harris arrived as the new director of the College’s Women in Engineering (WIE) program, there was a lot to celebrate.

In its 30 years of existence, the program has contributed to boosting the number of women in the College to 35% of undergraduates. And in some Schools, female students now outnumber males. WIE also has been awarding more than $150,000 in scholarships every year and hosting a robust program of corporate engagement opportunities for students.

That meant it was time for the next chapter, and Harris had some ideas.

“WIE is a women-led office that serves the entire College,” said Harris, who herself studied electrical and computer engineering at Tech as an undergrad. “Our vision is for 100% of the College of Engineering to be positively impacted by a WIE program or initiative. Men, women, faculty, staff, grads, postdocs, undergrads — 100% of the College.”
