WiSH Seminar Series
In this section
In 2020-2021, we marked the centennial of Dr. Franklin’s birth with a seminar series showcasing how “her-story” has poignantly influenced women in STEM.
To go deeper into the theme of each symposium, a seminar series is being launched to continue the conversation through the academic year.
Upcoming Events
Announcements for next year's seminars will begin in Fall 2023.
