“Step Forward: Advancing Women in Manufacturing”<\/a> is set for 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursday (March 31) at The Inn at Ole Miss. The Manufacturing Institute, or MI, is the education and workforce partner of the National Association of Manufacturers.<\/p>\n

“This one-day conference is a career development and networking event for female students and young professionals interested in manufacturing,” said Tyler Biggs, CME associate director for external operations. “Women in STEM has become a national movement, and we thought this would be a great way to highlight the work Ole Miss is doing to help promote diversity.”<\/p>\n

An executive panel discussion focusing on “What I Wish I Knew” is among the highlights. Panelists include Emily Lauder, vice president of Toyota Manufacturing Mississippi; Frankie Adaire, operations manager at Raytheon; and Transito James, director of operations at Milwaukee Tool.<\/p>\n

Other scheduled activities include workshops and sessions on the need for creators in the manufacturing industry, building networks and speed mentoring. A luncheon is provided at noon.<\/p>\n

The MI is requiring proof of vaccination for in-person attendance; this condition goes beyond what the university requires for most events. Instructions for confirming proof of vaccination will be sent before the meeting date.<\/p>\n
