The Student Scoop- November 10, 2021

New Recycling Opportunities on Campus

Kimberly-Clark has partnered with the Consumer Product and Manufacturing enterprise to make the recycling of flex-film plastics much more accessible to students. Flex film is any plastic designated with the recycling code 4. Examples of flex film are plastic bags, soda rings, or ziplock bags. If it stretches but doesn’t tear, it’s flex film! Look out for purple recycling containers in the North Coast Grill and Deli, as well as in the CPM office in the basement of the Chemical Sciences building. Further information can be found at https://how2recycle.info/labels.

Breaking Stereotypes for Women Engineers

Please join us for a “Breaking Stereotypes for Women Engineers” event hosted by the ECE department, SWE, the Panhellenic Council, and the IPC and Electronics Club. The event will take place Monday, November 15th from 7-9pm in MUB Ballroom A. The event will start out with a panel of women engineers and professors discussing a time in their education or career in which they were faced with a stereotype. These stories will then be followed by a discussion on how the panelist handled the situation.

After the panel has had a chance to speak, we will be asking the audience to write down a time they personally experienced a stereotype. These responses will be collected and read anonymously to the audience. We will then be asking the panel to comment on what they have heard. There will be light refreshments and a chance to network after the panel and discussion.

Please help us increase our response rate by sharing a quote or experience that fits the theme of this event. Please use this form to share your thoughts.

Thank you for your participation as we create an ongoing conversation on the stereotypes women face in both industry and education.
