KU Engineering diversity & women's programs to celebrate 50 years

Thu, 04/01/2021
LAWRENCE — IHAWKe, the umbrella organization for diversity and women’s programs at the University of Kansas School of Engineering, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021 with virtual and in-person events, as well as a scholarship fundraising campaign, scheduled throughout the year.
“We want to celebrate the fact that we've been doing this since 1971,” said Andrew Williams, KU Engineering associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion. “And it’s been an award-winning program ever since.”
A virtual celebration is planned for April 29. There is also an in-person event expected — safety permitting — in October.
The organization began life in 1971 as SCoRMEBE, the Student Council for Recruiting, Motivating and Educating Black Engineers, started by Black engineering students at KU: William Nunnery, Gene Kendall and Ralph Temple. Soon after, William Hogan was appointed as the school's first assistant dean of minority affairs.
