Celebrating Women’s History Month with stories of resilience and reinvention

Graduate student Kun Woo Cho working on hardware in a Princeton lab.

In honor of Women’s History Month, Princeton Engineering spoke with three members of our community: Janet Blume, a 1982 Princeton alumna who is now an engineering professor and deputy provost at Brown University; Kun Woo Cho, a graduate student in computer science; and Carolina Trenado Yuste, a postdoctoral research fellow. Each of them shared courageous stories of working through challenges and finding new directions in their lives and careers.
