Dr. Pascale Atallah, Polymer Scientist, was awarded two honors in February for her leadership and service.
First, the Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce honored her at the Celebration of Women in Business event. Dr. Atallah was among five women honored in various areas of leadership: corporate, non-profit, behind-the-scenes, mentorship and inspirational. Dr. Atallah was honored with the Inspirational Leader award.
According to the Chamber, the Inspirational Leader award honors a woman leader who, through her words, actions, and attitude inspires those who work with and around her. As they presented the award to Dr. Atallah, chamber members described her as a trailblazer for others as she empowers women through her own strength.
Dr. Atallah also received the Tex Richardson Award for exemplary service presented jointly by the Tulsa Engineering Foundation, the Oklahoma Engineering Foundation, and with cooperation of the Construction Specification Institute. These awards recognize outstanding achievement and service in engineering and science guidance activities in the State of Oklahoma.
These awards support Pascale's mission to empower and mentor women in Science to find balance between their head and their heart and develop their personal values as they thrive in a highly analytical and male dominated field.
