In honor of Black History Month, Princeton Engineering spoke with Black women engineers from two generations. Corey Toler-Franklin, now an assistant professor at Barnard College and Columbia University, was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in computer science from Princeton. Janice Kankolongo is a junior majoring in chemical and biological engineering who leads Princeton’s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers.
