This year's Meet Her! event presents astronaut and artist Dr. Sian Leo Proctor.
As a geoscientist and space artist, Dr. Proctor works to blend the worlds of science, space exploration and creative expression. In 2021, she became the first artist selected to go to space and, as a result, is the first Black woman to pilot a spaceship and the first Black person to paint in space as part of the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission. Through her company Space2inspire, Dr. Proctor creates Futurism art that not only celebrates space exploration but also advocates for diversity and equity in space and STE(A)M fields. Attend Meet Her! to hear her STE(A)M story!
Limited seating is subject to availability. Dr. Proctor's presentation begins at 10:30 a.m. in the Auditorium (Main Level 2, West Pavilion) followed by a Q&A session.
