The relationship of technological and information systems to the law is an emerging and influential area. From think-tanks and policy centers to technology and aerospace companies we see a lack of women in leadership roles that build and guide the industry. This presentation will track several of our most successful Space, Cyber and Telecommunications Law female graduates, from The New America Foundation to SpaceX, and identify what services the University provided them that helped them secure positions that lead innovative industries. Program Executive Director, Elsbeth Magilton sat down with these women and asked them three overarching questions of how educational resources can support women entering the technology sector: What should we keep doing? What should we quit doing? What should we start doing? This presentation will tell their stories and propose a plan for how administrators and faculty can craft an environment that sets women up for success in these industries. Importance or relevance to other units or departments: This presentation will propose a plan for how administrators and faculty can craft an environment that sets women up for success in tech industries. Elsbeth will present three simple take-aways: What should we keep doing? What should we quit doing? What should we start doing? The information is presented in the content of programmatic suggestions for program administrators and faculty who work directly with female students interested in entering the tech field.
