Below is a description of the book:

In her latest #1 New York Times bestseller, the author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet reveals the power of a bittersweet, melancholic outlook on life, and why our culture has been so blind to its value.

If you’ve ever wondered why you like sad music …
If you find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day …
If you react intensely to music, art, nature, and beauty …

Then you probably identify with the bittersweet state of mind.”

Event Recap
We recently hosted a dynamic panel at UMBC, bringing together early-career women engineers from immigrant backgrounds to discuss their journeys and experiences. The turnout was fantastic and the engagement was even better! We delved into some critical issues that resonate with many in our field such as navigating discrimination, mentorship, and imposter syndrome. Let’s continue to support and uplift each other in our professional journeys.
