Yes, it is true Cindy is throttling back from her 35+ year career supporting space based research and development. To celebrate Cindy for her many years of leadership, mentorship and commitment to space policy and the STEM workforce with a fundraising gift in honor of her retirement to Rosie Riveters--a non-profit that has worked to engage and inspire more than 4000 girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math!

Founded in 2015, Rosie Riveters' goal is to close the gender gap in STEM; in 2019 women made up only 27% of the science and engineering workforce in the U.S. Rosie Riveters' innovative STEM curriculum works toward achieving gender equity in the field by engaging preschool to middle school girls in programs that build participants' critical thinking, problem solving skills, and overall confidence in STEM via productive struggle.
