Engineering Ambassadors win AAUW award


Several ambassadors and their adviser, Melissa 
Marshall, accept their award.

The Penn State Engineering Ambassadors were awarded the Gateway to Equity Award by the State College branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW).

The award was established by the Pennsylvania AAUW to recognize an individual, group, organization or business that has shown by action and philosophy the promotion of equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy or research.

The engineering ambassadors reach out to the community through visits to middle and high schools across Pennsylvania, using messages of "Changing the Conversation" to promote the field of engineering to women and girls. Engineering Ambassadors also engage with the community through campus tours and presentations to prospective students and their families, alumni, and industry partners.
