She was named Engineering Associate in August 2007 and in 2012 was named the first woman Senior Engineering Associate in Corning's history. In the 165 year history of Corning,
Shawn joins an elite group of only 13 Engineering Fellows and is the first female to achieve such recognition.
The Engineering Fellow appointment recognizes individuals who have made exceptional, measurable, and outstanding engineering contributions to Corning Incorporated throughout their careers. It is a significant milestone in Corning's technical career path and recognizes exemplary technical depth, breath, and leadership.
Throughout her career, Shawn has made significant financial and technological contributions to the Display Technologies, Specialty Materials, and High Performance Displays businesses.
