REMINDER: OSU PRESIDENT MURTHY AND ST. MARY’S ACADEMY STEM EVENT TONIGHT - 10/01/25

Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, Umpqua Bank, and St. Mary's Academy invite you to join us on Wednesday, October 1st, at 6:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Academy for an inspiring evening of film and conversation that explores the power, potential, and perseverance of women in the technology industry.

ICONS is the debut documentary from Women in Cloud, spotlighting the journeys of 19 trailblazing women, founders, technologists, and policymakers, who are shaping the future of the cloud and AI-driven economy. Through raw, personal stories and bold insights, the film uncovers the realities of the gender gap in tech and calls for actionable change, both personal and systemic. After the screening, there will be a panel discussion with:

•Moderator, Heather Seppa, Market Region Manager - Umpqua Bank

•Margueritte Kim, CEO - IT Revolution

•Debbie Marr, Co-Founder - Ahead Computing

•Jayathi Murthy, President - Oregon State University

Prior to the screening, OSU President Murthy will be meeting with the St. Mary’s Academy Robotics team at 4 p.m. The ‘Beta Blues’ are the largest all-female robotics team and a key part of the St. Mary’s Academy Science Department. This visit is especially meaningful as it provides the women on the team with an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with strong female tech leaders.

As part of this meeting, President Murthy will be available for media until 5 p.m.

If interested in attending either the film screening or robotics team visit, please reach out to Caroline Campana, caroline.campana@smapdx.org
