In a turbulent economy with an uncertain job market, a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) remains one of the most reliable paths to a rich, rewarding career.

Carol Malnati believes organizations that leverage gender diversity out-perform and out-innovate. It was the 1980’s and few women ventured into the university’s engineering buildings – let alone declare it as a major.

At that point, I wanted to be someone that encouraged young women to get involved in math, science, and engineering.” Today, she’s doing just that.
