Introduction

We will be editing articles relating to Women in STEAM (science - technology - engineering - arts - mathematics). This event is hosted in cooperation with the Campus Read program, WVU Diversity Week, and the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) West Virginia Chapter. The WVU Campus Read text 2017-2018 is Hidden Figures (book).
