Margot Shetterly, author of Hidden Figures and founder of “The Human Computer Project“, will be on campus for three free events on Tuesday 24 January. The Hollywood movie based on her novel, which tells the story of the black women mathematicians who helped win the space race, was released Friday with much recognition from the public (and even the White House via First Lady Michelle Obama).

The event will include a keynote address, followed by a fireside chat with Alec Gallimore (Dean of Engineering) and a book signing.
