After completing her PhD at ÃÀÅ®×ö°® in 1978, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American woman to walk in space. Now one of the most senior science administrators in the U.S. government, Dr. Sullivan returned to campus this week to meet with students and talk about different ways of looking at our planet.

Two ÃÀÅ®×ö°® alumnae — Lucy Maud Montgomery and Portia White — are among the women nominated thus far as part of the Bank of Canada’s "Bank NOTE-able" campaign, which invites Canadians to help select an iconic woman to appear on a new bank note.
