Janet Wozniak is enamored with the natural world, be it the small animals in her California backyard or the birds she tagged and studied in Mexico when she traveled there from Baldwin City, Kansas, while an undergraduate at Baker University. The daughter of a teacher and a school superintendent, she possesses a passion for the biological sciences and a love of learning in general. She studied both math and biology and received a master’s degree in education at the University of Kansas before becoming a teacher, a career she picked for herself in second grade, ready to follow in her parents’ footsteps.

About the Magazine

IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine is the first magazine to focus on issues facing women who study or work in IEEE’s fields of interest.

IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine strives to recognize women’s outstanding achievements in electrical and electronics engineering as well as enhance networking and to promote membership in IEEE Women in Engineering.

The publication also advocates for women in leadership roles and career advancement for women in STEM professions, and it facilitates the development of programs and activities that promote the entry into and retention of women in engineering programs.

More Than 30 Years of Women in STEM at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville: Its Formation, Development, and Experiences

This article shows the evolution of the Women in STEM (WiSTEM) program at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville (UWP) over the past 30 years. The development of support programs for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) requires flexibility, persistence, and strategy. When putting together the timeline of events associated with the development of WiSTEM, we noticed that success with these types of programs often does not occur overnight, but rather through years of commitment and effort. Additionally, we learned that there is not really any one particular event or program that has impacted it, but rather the importance of a sustained and consistent focus on developing a community, with attention on creating an inclusive climate for women in STEM. It is the synergy created by the sum of all of the individual parts that makes the program meaningful and successful.
