Monica D. Johns, president and CEO of Clarity Management Consulting Inc., will present Making History: The Contributions of Women and Ethnic Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, a talk about the contributions women and minorities have made to the STEM disciplines, as part of TACNY’s 2011-2012 Junior Cafe Scientifique lecture series.
People interested in learning more about their contributions are invited to attend the free Junior Cafe presentation on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) in Syracuse’s Armory Square. Walk-ins are welcome, but we ask that people RSVP by emailing jrcafe@tacny.org by Jan. 19, 2012.
Monica D. Johns has over 25 years of technical and business experience, and has worked at General Motors, Corning and General Electric. As president and CEO of Clarity Management Consulting Inc., Johns transforms businesses from the inside out by using process improvement to enable clients’ strategic goals. Johns earned her bachelor of science degree in industrial engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo and her MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a PMI-certified Project Management Professional and earned her Six Sigma Black Belt from the Institute of Industrial Engineers.
This presentation will uncover the contributions of women and ethnic minorities in science, technology, engineering and math, disciplines that historically were closed to women and people of color. Johns will go beyond the names that are commonly known and highlight the challenges and triumphs of this courageous group of pioneers who did so much to broaden our intellectual and technological horizons.
TACNY Junior Cafe Scientifique, a program for middle-school students, features discussions between scientists and students about topics in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in an informal atmosphere and seeks to encourage students to consider careers in these areas. Students must be accompanied by an adult and can explore the MOST at no cost after the event.
