Terry Jester, a longtime leader in the field of solar energy, recently created scholarships for students in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at her alma mater, California State University, Northridge.
Jester ’79 (Mechanical Engineering) was one of very few female mechanical engineering students during her time at CSUN. For more than 30 years, she has been an influential figure in the solar and other renewable energy industries, and in the electronic manufacturing industry — including executive positions and board memberships with numerous companies.
