In our final episode featuring Jeremy Waisome from
the NHERI University of Florida facility, we learn the importance of exposing high school and
college students to engineering education as a college major. Waisome explains enriching
opportunities such as the NHERI Research Experiences for Undergraduates program and the
importance of having role models and mentors who come from one’s own community. She also
talks about her own podcast: Modern Figures, which features Black women in computing.
