"I want engineering students, specifically women engineering students, to know that they are uniquely gifted and 'have what it takes' to go anywhere they want to in life," says Lehigh materials science alumnae and Boeing engineer Ricole Johnson.
"Engineering provides a solid educational foundation and skill set that will open many doors of opportunity. As a woman engineering student at Lehigh, collaboration, contribution, and conviction were key traits I learned in order to thrive in majority male environments. Specifically, I learned how to bring forth my ideas, develop confidence in what I contributed, and work with others in a collaborative way to achieve results."
