Highlighting Minorities in the Field
The Makerspace thrives as a creative hub because of the culmination of experiences, backgrounds, and ingenuity of our community.
In an effort to display the innovation and represent the individuals within our Engineering network, we’ve begun gathering their stories, and working to promote them to further foster an inclusive culture. By sharing the journeys of diverse UW Madison students, staff, affiliates, and Madison residents within the engineering community, we aim to break down barriers, and open up a bigger conversation.
Community Makers will feature stories on our social media platforms; sharing current projects you are working on, personal goals, how you got to where you are, influences that have shaped you, and anything else you feel is important to share.We know that diversity and the pursuit of excellence in teaching & research are inextricably linked, and we hope you will consider taking part in this project to represent who UW Engineers are. If you would like to participate, or know anyone who has a story to tell, please see below (right) to submit an interest form. If you have any questions or concerns about the project, please reach out to us at maker-contact@engr.wisc.edu.
