 Diane Matt Executive Director Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network (WEPAN) is a national not-for-profit organization with over 600 members from nearly 200 engineering schools, small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations, and non-profit organizations. WEPAN is dedicated to improving the climate for and success of all women in engineering. By transforming environments in institutions of higher education, a diverse population of aspiring engineers can succeed. WEPAN began in 1990 as a collaboration of leaders at several major universities who were focused on supporting women in engineering fields of study. Since that time, membership has grown to include a variety of institutions of higher learning, including large research institutions, smaller technical or liberal arts colleges, and community colleges. Members also represent corporations, government agencies and other not-for-profit organizations who are focused on the full participation of women in engineering. www.wepan.org « Return to Diversity Council page |
