Inventive Women in the Institute of Technology

If you get the chance to visit the Minnesota History Center in Saint Paul, be sure to stop by and take a look at their brand-new exhibit, called "Inventive Women: Protraits of Scientists and Engineers from the University of Minnesota." 

This exhibit is a collection of black and white portraits by Nancy G. Johnson, a communications specialist in the Institute of Technology's Department of Mechanical Engineering, who notes, "There are so many problems to solve, so many things that need to be invented. Benjamin Franklin said, 'Energy and persistence conquer all things.' It will take all of us--men and women--to come up with the ideas and solutions to help our world flourish."  

This is a great opportunity to get an inside look into the minds of some of the great women faculty that are behind new innovation and research at the University of Minnesota!  The exhibit will run from November 27th, 2009 to July 4, 2010, with a public exhibit reception on December 1, 2009 from 5-8 p.m. at the Minnesota History Center. More information is on the Minnesota History Center Web site.

I can't wait to go--I hope you get the opportunity to check it out, too!
