For the bulk of Nicola Morris’ formidable 20-year career, she’s been the only woman in the room. That’s largely because she’s worked primarily in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, where women account for just 22 percent of the workforce and leave in large numbers each year. Nicola now serves as WEX Inc.’s chief corporate development officer and president of emerging markets, but before that she spent many years in the internet and telecommunications industry.

According to a report from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, African-American and Hispanic students earning engineering degrees remain underrepresented despite an increase seen in recent years and a growing demand for workers in the industry.
The APLU’s 2018 “Status Report on Engineering Education: A Snapshot of Diversity in Degrees Conferred in Engineering,” funded by the National Science Foundation, used data from all universities and colleges with engineering programs in the U.S. during the 2010-2011 and 2015-2016 academic years.

Robin Nelson was a bit nervous as she prepared for her trip to Austin, where she was giving a talk at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists this past April. But her talk wasn’t the only thing making her antsy; it was also the child care arrangement. Nelson, an assistant professor of biological anthropology at California’s Santa Clara University, would be bringing her 10-month-old daughter, who “was kind of crawling then but wasn’t yet walking, so very dependent,” Nelson says.

This past election cycle, hundreds of women ran for office on a promise to make the future brighter and more female. Many ran on platforms that made climate change a priority, asserting that the U.S. needed to take drastic action to protect our planet and our future. Women rallying behind environmental protection has deep roots: 150 years ago, chemist and public safety advocate Ellen Swallow Richards solidified the idea of “human ecology,” the study of how people shape their environments, and how their environments shape them.

 The flip of the calendar can inspire reflection and anticipation; a ready-made reason to make any change we want. With good reason, we often use this time to focus on our achievements and to motivate ourselves for continued success. One thing we often overlook while we are mapping out bigger, hairier goals and visualizing amazing accomplishments is how we can improve our ability to face challenges. And a great way to stay focused is to create an expert entourage to help us maintain our perspective when we face those inevitable obstacles in our path.
