The Smithsonian's "#IfThenSheCan - The Exhibit" is the largest collection of statues of women ever assembled together. The 120 life-size 3D-printed statues are of a diverse coalition of contemporary women STEM innovators and role models and includes TSPPPA alumna Charita Castro. Charita earned her PhD in Public Policy in the Gender and Social Policy track. She is currently the Deputy Assistant US Trade Representative for Labor Affairs.  

New Book 

Professor Kathy Newcomer and Alumna Allyson Criner Brown joined with Quentin Wilson to provide tools, tips and insights for practitioners interested in addressing urgent social needs and inequities.
