The association is pleased to acknowledge “Women Ambassadors Creating the Future of Wood Science<\/a>,” a SWST-sponsored traveling exhibition designed to\u00a0celebrate women ambassadors over time.<\/p>\n

\"Eva<\/a>Dr. Eva Haviarova<\/a>, professor of wood products in the\u00a0Purdue Department of Forestry and Natural Resources<\/a>, is among 16 ambassadors that were announced on February 11,\u00a02022, as part of the\u00a0International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/a>\u00a0celebration.<\/p>\n

The first exhibition of Women Ambassadors will take place during the\u00a02022 SWST International Convention\u00a0in Kingscliff, Australia, July 10-16. The display will be unveiled at the convention’s opening ceremony and reception and will continue to be highlighted during the week. The exhibition will then travel around the world, including a stop at the 2023 SWST International Convention in Asheville, North Carolina. Information from the display also will be available for downloading and printing at individual institutions.<\/p>\n

“Being recognized and selected as an ambassador for the wood science field among other very accomplished women on a global scale is a great honor,” Haviarova said. “I am at a point in my career where I feel that I can inspire others and fulfill an important mentor role. A career in wood science was a great choice I made and I wish that more women\/girls would see the same potential as I did when I chose to dedicate my life to work with wood, one of the most versatile, inspiring, and sustainable materials out there.”<\/p>\n
