Kara Callahan, Assistant Director of
Engineering, Smith College
Kara Callahan joined the newly established
Picker Engineering Program at Smith College (the first and only
women’s college in the United States to offer an engineering
program) in August 2001. Ms. Callahan is a Smith College alumna (A.B.
Mathematics) who went on to earn her Master’s Degree in Civil and
Environmental Engineering at MIT. Ms. Callahan spent nearly a decade
as an engineer in the power industry building and refurbishing power
plants and analyzing power systems before coming to Smith. In her
previous career, she had the wonderful experience of working and
living internationally – as her job took her to almost all corners
of the globe (Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and North
America). In her work to help develop the Picker Engineering
Program, Ms. Callahan is dedicated to bringing both her professional
experience and her perspective from her international work to her
students by creating opportunities for them to study and work
abroad.
