DeKALB – The Northern Illinois University College of Education presents its spring 2013 Community Learning Series, “Women Educators in Science, Technology and Leadership,” at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 21, in the Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center.

Three accomplished alumni will talk about how their education degrees led them to careers in educational leadership, corporate consulting and entrepreneurship, and medical research. While all three panelists are teachers first and foremost, they have taken their careers far beyond the traditional classroom. They will share lessons they have learned and tips for educators to navigate the constantly-changing landscape of education.

A reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres will begin at 5 p.m., with the panel discussion at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but attendees are asked to register at 815-753-1949 or ceducollegerelations@niu.edu.
