Each semester the RTG program will host a luncheon for women trainees with a faculty role model, from within or outside UNC, to share and discuss unique challenges, experiences, and opportunities for women in STEM. This semester the luncheon will be held on October 31st from 12:30pm to 2:00pm at Carolina Union Rooms 3206AB. We will have Prof. Julie Swann from NC State as the faculty role model joining the lunch. Prof. Swann is the department head and A. Doug Allison Distinguished Professor of the Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. She is an affiliate faculty in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at both NC State and UNC Chapel Hill. Before joining NC State, Prof. Swann was the Harold R. and Mary Anne Nash Professor in the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. There she co-founded and co-directed the Center for Health and Humanitarian Systems (CHHS), one of the first interdisciplinary research centers on the Georgia Tech campus. Starting with her work with CHHS, Prof. Swann has conducted research, outreach and education to improve how health and humanitarian systems operate worldwide.
