@megan_holmen The University of New Mexico Women’s Resource Center celebrated Women’s History Month on Thursday by hosting a panel discussion, featuring five women in science, technology, engineering and math fields. The center worked with UNM’s STEM Collaborative Center to plan and host the event. Anna Reser, the co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of Lady Science Magazine, gave the welcome address for the event. She explained the importance of history of women in STEM and how that impacts the challenges women face today. According to Reser, the knowledge and history of science is impacted by male-centric representation.

It serves a number of purposes, to discuss international major issues whether it’s foreign policy, terrorism, Korea, Russia, the Middle East, climate change — to discuss these issues academically,” said Emile Nakhleh, Ph.D., director of GNSPI and one of two organizers of the symposium. Some of the events on Monday include a keynote address about technology and national security and a panel of UNM students who recently attended an international Model United Nations competition. Tuesday will feature a panel of six GNSPI and NSSP students who will present on a variety of topics, including “Nuclear Capable Brazil” and “Resilient and Sustainable Cities.” For students interested in pursuing a career in national security, a panel of security agencies, such
