Career
Day
Queen of Peace High School
– Burbank, IL
Throughout her presentation, Brauer
challenged the young women of Peace. “As women, we do not have
to choose either careers in technical fields or careers in
caretaking fields. I challenge you to be a caretaker of the
environment, of animals, and of people by becoming an
engineer. Every time-saving, energy-saving, life-saving device
in your lives – even medications – are touched by engineers,”
Brauer stated.
“As engineers, we use knowledge for practical
application. Like me, you too, can create and supply the
life-saving tools and equipment that hospitals, paramedics,
and police departments need,” Brauer told students.

women’s hearts and brains where I could slip my messages in and
change their lives in a positive way.” She adds that she removed
very little of the story in editing, noting, “Anything I removed

I believe Susan's presentation about her personal
experience with domestic violence, and her willingness to
share the personal face of surviving and thriving makes a real
difference for those trying to understand "why do people
stay?" "how do people get in that situation" and "is there any
hope for them after the abuse?"
