MIT President Seeks Inclusive Approach to STEM

Susan Hockfield, MIT's first woman president, noting that 43% of the institution's students are women, of whom 85% will earn a degree in science or engineering, acknowledges the need to seek an inclusive approach to faculty selection in the STEM fields; ideally her goal would be to have 50% women professors.  Her advice for young women:  "If young women want to help invent the future--and change lives and change societies--there's no better way to do it than through science and engineering."  Hockfield also discusses green energy projects being undertaken at the university, as well as the need for energy policy reform.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matthew-dakotah/women-in-power-susan-hock_b_881881.html
