“A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are for. Sail out to sea and do new things.”  That quote was from someone for whom this was not a metaphor, rear-admiral (and mathematician) Grace Hopper. She was also the developer of the first compiler of a programming language and played a key role in developing COBOL, one of the first high-level languages.  I am confident that the women students and faculty of the College of Engineering at Cornell will not play it safe, will race against the winds of science, and do great things.

With the end of the NSF ADVANCE award in 2013, the torch has been handed back to the WISE group. Worthy goals remain for us to pursue:  continuing to advocate for more women faculty, improving the situation for dual-career hires, reducing student bias against women and under-represented faculty teachers, and encouraging more women to continue to advanced degrees and to pursue faculty careers."
