IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine

As we strive to find new ways to educate our youth, the
Henry and Susan Samueli Foundation has created a unique
and impactful science, technology, engineering, and mathematics program that engages students in every aspect of
business around a topic many students enjoy: e-sports. The
foundation has developed an e-sports curriculum free to
schools that includes professional development and competitions to create a holistic approach to gaming. The results
have been astounding and now, students from around the
world are engaging in this innovative program.
As we move into 2021, we welcome new IEEE WIE Committee Chair Jenifer Castillo Rodriguez and wish her the
best of success. Her tireless and unwavering commitment to
diversity and inclusion will help our organization thrive and
be a guiding light for other organizations seeking inspiration
on the best practices required for developing inclusive work
environments. We would also like to thank 2020 IEEE WIE
Chair Dr. Lisa Lazareck-Asunta for her continued support and
leadership. In 2021, we are elated that our own WIE champion and long-time volunteer Kathy Land will assume the role
of IEEE president. Congratulations Kathy!
Finally, it gives me great pleasure to announce that IEEE
Women in Engineering Magazine has recently won two APEX
awards for excellence in publishing. Although the magazine
has a continuous record of receiving awards and accolades for
more than a decade, these recognitions would not have been
earned without the hard work and dedication of our expert
