Seven Decades of First

Discover the journey of women in Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering. From the women enrolling in 1952 to groundbreaking leadership roles today, our timeline highlights key milestones that have shaped a more inclusive and innovative future. Dive into history with us:

1952

USG Allows Admission of Women

In a 7–5 vote, the Board of Regents approves the admission of women to Tech — though on a limited full-time basis and restricted to architecture, engineering, and applied mathematics. The admission applies only to white women.

1952

First Women Enroll

Elizabeth Herndon and Diane Michel Clarke enroll at Tech’s main campus. They are the first full-time undergraduate women, and Clarke is the first woman to major in engineering (industrial engineering). Amid a mixed reception, they band together, creating a personal code of conduct to rise above what is called the resulting “hullabaloo.”

1953

First EE Student

Shirley Clements Mewborn enrolls as the first woman to major in electrical engineering at Tech.

1954 – 58

Making History Across Campus

Paula Stevenson Humphreys, TEXT 1958, a textile engineering major, records a string of firsts for women at Tech: drum majorette, student council member, Ramblin’ Reck Club member, and more.

1956

Students in cap and gown. Two women are siting at the end of a row in the center of the photo.

First Women Graduate

Mewborn, EE 1956, and Clarke, IE 1956, graduate — making history as the first women to earn undergraduate degrees at Tech.

1958

SWE is Founded

Maryly Van Leer Peck (daughter of Ella and Blake Van Leer) establishes Tech’s chapter of the Society of Women Engineers, the first professional club for female students.

1958

Using the GI Bill

After four years’ service in the Air Force, Martha Moss Quo, TEXT 1958, M.S. TEXT 1960, is the first woman to enroll at Tech by exercising her rights under the GI Bill. Though her plan is to study chemistry, that major is not yet open to women, and she instead studies textile engineering.

1966

First Minority Woman Enrolls

Sally Lam Woo, CHE 1966, who immigrated from Hong Kong at the age of 15, becomes the first minority woman graduate of the College of Engineering. While enrolled full-time, she lives with 10 other women at Ella Van Leer’s home in an enclosed porch — because Tech offers no housing for women.

1967

First Black Women Enroll

Brenda Gullatt Joseph, EES 1976; Grace Hammonds, M.S. MATH 1973; Tawana Miller, IM 1976; Adesola Kujoure Nurudeen, CHE 1978, M.S. MET 1980, Ph.D. CHE 1983; Donna Smith Palms, CHE 1974; and Clemmie Bray Whatley M.S. MATH 1973, become the first Black Women to enroll at Tech.

1968

A Woman Joins the Faculty

Helen Grenga joins the metallurgy program as the first woman faculty member in engineering in 1968. The Helen Grenga Outstanding Woman Engineer Award honors her legacy as a teacher, mentor, and leader.

1970

First Woman to Earn an Engineering Ph.D.

Aerospace engineering student Mary Anne Jackson Wright becomes the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in engineering at Tech.

1974

First Black Woman to Earn a Bachelor’s

Donna Smith Palms, CHE 1974, becomes the first Black woman to graduate with a degree in engineering. She came to Tech as a dual degree student, also earning a science degree from Spelman College.

1978

Leading the Student Body

Amy Wepking Opfer, ME 1981, becomes Tech’s first woman president of SGA.

1981

ANAK Elects a Woman Leader

Helen Gould, IE 1982, is the first woman elected to lead the ANAK Society, Tech’s oldest and highest honor society. She’s also the first woman elected student body vice president. Gould leads a student committee that successfully lobbies to increase annual state funding for the Institute.

1982

Another Woman Joins the Faculty

Jane Ammons marks several firsts: the first woman to earn an IE Ph.D. and the first woman faculty member in ISyE. (She’s the second woman engineering faculty member)

1984

Lisa Volmar leans against the 1930 Ford Model A known as the Ramblin' Wreck.

Driving the Wreck

Lisa Volmar, IE 1986, is the first woman to drive the Ramblin’ Wreck.

1994

WIE is Founded

The Women in Engineering program is founded at the College of Engineering. The program aims to increase the number of women students in engineering, to empower them as leaders, and to improve outcomes for all students. In recent decades, Tech annually leads the country in graduating women engineers.

2011

First School Chair

Jane Ammons, Ph.D. IE 1982, becomes chair of the H. Milton Stewart School of ISyE, the first woman to lead a School in the College of Engineering.

Grandma Ruthie’s Candied Yams

Submitted by Cassandra Trawick, MSE

“My favorite holiday recipe is candied yams. My grandmother taught me how to cook them over the phone because she lives in Ohio. I still don’t know what type of measurement a ‘scounch’ is, but I figured it out.”

Peel and slice 3-4 large yams

Boil in water until soft

Remove from the boiling water and place in a skillet

Add butter, a scounch of white sugar, and a scounch of brown sugar

Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally.

a stack of two iced cookies, the top one with a bite missing, sits amid a group of cookies

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

Submitted by Lynnae Hill, Dean’s Office

INGREDIENTS

2 ½ c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp salt
½ c butter, softened
1 c white sugar
½ c brown sugar
1 ¼ c pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 oz cream cheese
¾ c powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugars.
Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to butter mixture and beat until creamy.
Add the dry ingredients in three batches to the butter mixture and stir until incorporated.
Using a cookie scoop, drop onto a cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.
Bake 15-20 minutes.
While the cookies bake, make the icing by combining cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Remove cookies from the oven and move to a cooling rack immediately to prevent sticking.
Cool for 10 minutes, then frost with cream cheese icing.

Velvet Corn Soup

From Lori Federico, ChBE

“Our Chinese American Thanksgiving always includes this soup!”

INGREDIENTS

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth/stock
1 can (16oz) creamed corn
1 tsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Chinese cooking wine or Dry Sherry (can omit)
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp cornstarch, mixed with a splash of cold water
1 egg, whisked
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
Salt and white pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp sliced scallions / shallots (optional)
Drizzle of sesame oil (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Place broth, creamed corn, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, ginger, garlic and cornflour / water mixture in a saucepan over high heat.
Bring to boil, then turn down the heat to medium and stir occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Adjust seasoning with salt, turn off heat, and slowly whisk in the egg so it cooks in “ribbons” throughout the soup.
Add the chicken, season with white pepper, and serve, garnished with scallions.

Roasted Summer Vegetables

From Laura Fuentes
Recommended by Dawn Franklin, Dean’s Office

Dawn says, “I recently made this recipe but modified it by adding sliced Italian sausage (and then drizzling with balsamic vinegrette after taking it out of the oven). It was a great summer patio dish.”

Sauteed squash on a plate with a metal spoon.

Sautéed Patty Pan Squash

From allrecipes
Recommended by Candice McLemore, ISyE

Candice says, “I just made this recipe, and it was delicious. It’s a good summer side dish, and you could use any summer squash.”

Panzanella

From Ina Garten
Recommended by Teresa Jonsson, ME

Teresa says, “This is a recipe I make every summer with homegrown or farmer’s market heirloom tomatoes.”

Pistachio Cake

Submitted by Antonio Facchetti, MSE

INGREDIENTS – CAKE

8 oz butter
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup finely ground unsalted pistachios
1 cup finely ground blanched almonds
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 teaspoon rosewater
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

INGREDIENTS – ICING

1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Crystallized rose petals and shelled pistachios, for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of an 8-inch nonstick cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream together the butter and superfine sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then add the ground pistachios and almonds. Add the orange juice, orange zest and rosewater, and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour; do not overmix.
Scoop the mixture into the cake pan, and bake until the top is firm and a light golden brown, about 40 minutes. Lightly cover the top of the cake with foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry, about 10 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for several minutes, then remove and cool on a rack.
When the cake is cool, make the icing: Mix the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl, and pour over the cake. If desired, decorate with pistachios. Allow the icing to set for 30 minutes before serving.
Ice cream, hazelnut or pistachio never hurt!

Orange Cream Refresher

Submitted by Cassandra Trawick, MSE

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 c. (4 large scoops) orange sherbet
1 c. (3 large scoops) vanilla ice cream
1/2 c. orange juice (strained, if using fresh)
Whipped cream
2 orange slices
2 maraschino cherries

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine sherbet, ice cream, and orange juice in blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.

Cucumber Greek Salad

Submitted by Ellen Riley, ChBE

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cucumber, diced
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed
1/2 Vidalia or sweet onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup Greek vinaigrette dressing
One small container feta cheese
Optional: olives

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the first five ingredients in a large bowl mixing well. Sprinkle feta over the top before serving. Refrigerate 2-3 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Averi’s ‘Smoovie’

Submitted by Tristen Jones, MSE

“My husband and I love a nice cold smoothie during the summer, especially our homemade green smoothie. My daughter, Averi, loves ‘smoovies’ and asks for one daily. It’s refreshing and helps her get her daily serving of vegetables. (She hates anything green, except her smoovie!)

INGREDIENTS

5 oz freshly washed baby spinach
1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
2 cups milk (we use almond milk)
1 small bag frozen fruit (we prefer a strawberry/mango mix)
1⁄2 banana
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a blender, add all the ingredients, starting with the spinach, milk, and yogurt at the bottom.
For extra sweetness, add 2 tablespoons of stevia or your preferred sweetener.
Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Spinach/Strawberry Salad

Submitted by Ellen Riley, ChBE

INGREDIENTS

3-4 cups fresh baby spinach, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup poppyseed dressing
One small container goat cheese
1/2 cup slivered almonds (plain or coated)

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the first three ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Sprinkle goat cheese and almonds on top before serving.
