MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (09/20/2010)—Portraits of College of Science and Engineering women faculty are featured in a photo exhibit in Walter Library, second floor Great Hall beginning Friday, Sept. 24 and running through December 2010.

Meet faculty featured in the exhibit at an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 24, 3-3:30 p.m. in Walter Library, Great Hall.

The exhibit, entitled "Inventive Women: Portraits of Scientists and Engineers," is a collection of black and white portraits of women faculty in the University of Minnesota's College of Science and Engineering by Nancy G. Johnson, a communications specialist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Each portrait is accompanied by a statement written by the faculty member about her research.

Johnson received an IDEA (Innovation, Diversity, Equity, and Achievement) grant from the University's Office of Equity and Diversity to produce the exhibit. Additional support was provided by the University's College of Science and Engineering. The photo exhibit was formerly on display at the Minnesota History Center.
