Knowles to support female engineering students

ITASCA - Knowles Corp., a maker of small acoustic microphones and speakers, said it will donate $160,000 this year as part of its multiyear commitment to the University of Illinois Chicago College of Engineering to support female engineering students.

Knowles' donation helps support the enrollment and academic success of female UIC students pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) degrees.

"Knowles is fully committed to advancing the growth of women in the workplace and increasing the representation of women in engineering. Increasing the pipeline of women graduating with engineering and other STEM related degrees is core to driving gender diversity," said Jeffrey Niew, president and CEO of Knowles.
