The Women In Non-traditional Studies (WINS) Club hosted its 23rd annual Women in the Field Dinner.
WINS Adviser Professor Joy Carlson invited three female ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï graduates to campus to discuss their careers, give advice, and provide contact information to 24 current students. Speakers included Adelaide Matteson, who received a BS in construction management engineering technology from ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï in 2012, and is now project manager at Crane-Hogan Structural Systems in Spencerport; Shanley Keenan MacCrea, who earned an AS in engineering science from ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï in 2006, a BS in aeronautical engineering from Clarkson University in 2008, an MS in mechanical engineering from Columbia University in 2012, and is now a product engineer at Dresser-Rand in Wellsville; and Heather Rogers Landis, who received a BS in architecture from ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï in 2008, an MArch from Syracuse University in 2011, and is currently employed at CJS Architects in Rochester.
The two main goals of WINS are to further the knowledge of women in male-dominated fields and to sponsor civic engagement/fundraising projects, both locally and globally. WINS is open to all members of the ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï community, regardless of gender.
