From Classrooms to Boardrooms: Building an Inclusive Future in STEM

EPS EDI Seminar: "From Classrooms to Boardrooms: Building an Inclusive Future in STEM" - Dr Judith Abolle

Behind every breakthrough in engineering lies a story of someone who was given the chance to thrive. Yet for too many, that chance is still out of reach. In this talk, Dr Judith Abolle—award-winning engineer, educator, and champion for equity invites us to reimagine what engineering could look like when every voice is heard, every talent is valued, and every barrier is dismantled. Drawing on her journey from classrooms to boardrooms, Judith will share powerful examples of how inclusive leadership, innovative curriculum design, and bold cross-sector collaboration can transform not just who becomes an engineer, but how engineering itself evolves. This is a call to action: to build bridges where walls once stood, and to ensure the future of engineering is as diverse, dynamic, and resilient as the challenges it seeks to solve.
