On The Cover

Even as the numbers inch up, women faculty still remain a small and relatively isolated entity within the College. For a deeper understanding of some of the issues they've encountered -- first as young girls with a passion for math and science, later as academic engineers moving toward tenure and beyond -- we sat down with Fiona Doyle (above), Jasmina Vujic, and Jennifer Mankoff in a forum that proved to be remarkably frank and refreshing. Their discussion clarifies some of the unexpected challenges, nuances, and inspirations these women faced while charting the course of their professional lives. Read the story.
