Channeling Your Inner Champion (Fireside Chat: 12:55-1:40PM)
As we work to build the world around us as engineers, building it to work for everyone is of the utmost importance. Bringing your authentic self to the workplace is vital to creating the diverse workforce we need to accomplish that. Be the best engineer you can be by being authentic, using your voice, and #stompingoutstereotypes.
