Remembering Pat Schroeder
A Pioneer for Women's Rights
In 1972, Pat Schroeder was 32 years old and a mother of two when she became one of just 14 women in the U.S. House of Representatives. May she rest in peace.
"I always wanted to be cremated and made into a doorstop so I could hold a door open because basically what I want to do is hold doors open for people."
~ Pat Schroeder

Tech is Still Male Dominated. Here is What We Can Do About It.
By Elise Awwad, Chief Operating Officer + Scarlett Howery, Vice President of Campus and University Partnerships, DeVry University
There is a clear lack of gender-inclusive representation in STEM, with women making up only 25% of all computer science-related jobs. In positive news, women interested in pursuing STEM-related education is on the rise, as job openings in these professions remain at critically high levels.
