As part of the Voices of SWE series, Ms. Matthews recalls breaking barriers as one of the first women to attend Columbia University’s surveying camp. From being told she couldn’t attend to finally earning her place — and even facing confusion about late-night stargazing for class — her story captures the quiet determination of SWE pioneers who opened doors for future generations. This video was originally recorded for a Profiles of SWE Pioneers Oral History Project (2001–2006).
