Cora Arenas and Carol Artemiw Women in Engineering and Computer Science Second Year Retention Award
Great engineering happens when creativity and rigour combine in the right proportions. The most effective engineering teams are composed of members with diverse backgrounds and complementary strengths. There are not enough women and members of underrepresented communities graduating from engineering programs.
Antoinette and Michael Artemiw have established the Cora Arenas and Carol Artemiw Women in Engineering and Computer Science Second Year Retention Award to encourage students to continue in year two of their engineering program. They hope that the cover letter will provide valuable insights that improve the first year engineering experience for others.
Antoinette and Michael graduated from the 51³Ô¹Ï in 2001. They have named this award after their mothers, both incredible women, whose love and support created the opportunity for them to follow their dreams. Antoinette and Michael live in Silicon Valley with their two teenaged children.
