Encouraging women CEOs In the fields of science and technology, women have been scarce — espe- cially in positions of leadership. Last year, Texas State University stepped up and created a yearlong pro- gram to help women not only thrive in the fields of science and technology but also to start their own tech companies. The Activate program, started at the university last October, has been successful in that regard. According to the Statesman, by the program’s end, the 26 members are estimated to have started eight to 12 companies. The partnership is beneficial to the university as well: The entrepreneurs are encouraged to use technology developed at Texas universities, which often means royalties are paid to the school.

The case has been under scrutiny since Willingham was executed in 2004 based on what many claim to be flawed evidence. The commission also officially announced the formation of a four-per- son subcommittee that will meet to investigate the Willingham case behind closed doors.
