Alumnae from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering are well represented on Engineering Georgia’s fifth annual list of the 100 most influential women in Georgia.

The magazine also released a list of the 50 notable women in celebration of professionals who have significantly contributed to the industry over the past year.

Twenty-two successful CEE alums in construction , transportation,  education and more were selected for the honor.

The magazine built its lists from the recommendations of peers, industry leaders and its own editorial board. “These women are leaders in male-dominated fields who have had to create their own paths to success and stand as an inspiration for the next generation of engineering leaders,” writer Brett Hillesheim noted.

The lists are comprised of women who are recognized by their peers for the dedication, innovation, and leadership. The lists include:
