Exhibit overview
This exhibit highlights three women- Justina Williams, Gertrude Cox, and Katharine Stinson- who made history at NC State. Justina Williams became the first African-American academic staff member at NC State when she joined the university as a research technician in the Genetics Department. Gertrude Cox was the first female professor and head of the university’s Department of Experimental Statistics. Finally, Katharine Stinson became the first woman to graduate from NC State with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. The women involved in STEM today at NC State follow in the footsteps of these trailblazing women.

About us
This exhibit is a part of the Graduate History 591 Museum Studies class. Each student was tasked with creating a museum proposal about a relevant topic to North Carolina State University or North Carolina History in general. The proposals were then voted on for which idea would get displayed in the exhibit case at Withers hall at NC State. The winning proposal was Amelia Verkerk's on Women in STEM at NC State.
