Women in Manufacturing™ Launches Campus Chapter
at Purdue University College of Technology at Anderson

CLEVELAND, OH—Women in Manufacturing™ (WiM) is pleased to announce the launch of a campus chapter at Purdue University College of Technology at Anderson (IN).

This new chapter will host a kickoff luncheon on Tuesday, March 27, from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. at Purdue University College of Technology Anderson, Commons Area – First Floor, 2705 Enterprise Drive, Anderson, IN.  This event will celebrate the first joint chapter meeting between Women in Manufacturing™ and Purdue Anderson College of Technology with lunch, guest speakers and networking opportunities.

WiM – Purdue Anderson is directed by Lorri Barnett, a continuing lecturer of technology leadership and innovation at the university.  Ms. Barnett says that she envisions this collaboration between WiM and Purdue University College of Technology at Anderson as a way to provide education and awareness to young females about the career opportunities that exist in manufacturing-related industries.

“Our students are always looking for student-led organizations where they may showcase their leadership and industry-related technology skills,” Barnett says. “We are hopeful this partnership will fulfill those goals while providing quality networking opportunities to both organizations.”

The WiM – Purdue Anderson campus chapter is the second of its kind across the country.  WiM launched its inaugural chapter in 2013 with Brigham Young University.  Campus chapters are designed to bring together and celebrate young women, and to educate them about the possibilities associated with manufacturing careers.

Campus chapters should typically meet bimonthly and meetings range in subject matter based on the interests of members.  Each campus chapter is pioneered and run by a WiM member. Contact Kristin Moore at 216-901-8800 or kmoore@pma.org if interested in starting your own WiM campus chapter.
