Women on the Move
Betsy Sundalius (BS '01, Mechanical Engineering) was recently recognized by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers with a ‘Women in Manufacturing STEP’ (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Award for her excellence and leadership in manufacturing. Ms. Sundalius joins 121 other woman honorees, representing all levels of manufacturing.

Sundalius is a project engineer at Metalist International, a forging and stamping press repair business located in Lansing, Michigan.  On any given day she can be found coordinating purchasing for engineers working on a variety of forging and stamping presses, or re-engineering parts.
