SLAC to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Women’s Interchange

January 19th, 2011

Tomorrow, the Women’s Interchange at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will celebrate its 20th anniversary. WIS, as it is known, was founded in January 1991 to provide an open, informal forum to address issues of interest and concern to women; to promote the visibility of women at SLAC; and to share information among all SLAC departments, cultures and job classifications. The celebration will take place at noon Thursday, Jan. 20, in Panofsky Auditorium. LINDA RAKOW, the lab’s chief financial officer, will discuss her personal history, education, career path and how she sees her role at SLAC. Everyone is welcome. Bring your lunch or pick up something at the Linear Cafe. Cake is on the house.
