Local educator sees AF women invaluable to STEM education Published March 8, 2013 By Senior Airman Dillon Davis 97th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs ALTUS, Okla. - -- Lisa Greenlee, Western Oklahoma State College vice president for academic and student support services, and 97th Air Mobility Wing honorary command chief, sees Air Force women as invaluable assets to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. Greenlee, a strong supporter of Altus AFB's newly-formed STEM incentive program, said that her recent involvement in the program has allowed her to see a handful of women in the Air Force who have extraordinary capabilities to motivate young minds in STEM. These women are warfighters, mothers, sisters, daughters...and definitely role models. Women in STEM career fields play a vital role in workplace diversity to continually work for the common good of society," Greenlee said. Greenlee grew up on a farm, where her father encouraged her to do laborious duties in the summer to help her realize the importance of a strong work ethic and serving the community. "I was very lucky as a female to have many strong and well-educated women forge the way for me in administration," she said. As a role model herself in the community of Altus, Greenlee does just that by continuing to partner with Altus AFB in a joint effort to incentivize STEM education and programs. "Altus AFB has so much to offer in STEM education and motivation. Our partnership in these efforts will be everlasting."
