NCWIT celebrates the legacy of Dr. Gladys West, who passed away at 95 🤍

After graduating from Virginia State University, Dr. Gladys West started her career at Naval Proving Ground in Dahlgren, Virginia, now called the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), in 1956, and she worked there for 42 years as a mathematician and computer programmer. When she began, she was the second Black woman ever to be hired at the site, and one of only four Black employees total. She specialized in large-scale computer systems and data-processing systems for the analysis of information obtained from satellites, and was the first person to put together altimeter models of Earth’s shape to significant precision in the 1960. Her path-breaking work laid the foundation for today’s GPS system. Dr. West remained one of computing history’s “hidden figures” until a member of her sorority realized that she had played a key role in the development of GPS technology, and contacted the press.

"I have recently published my memoirs, entitled, “It Began With a Dream.” I had many thoughts and dreams that dominated my thinking throughout my developmental years. I encourage each of you to always move confidently toward your dreams, yourselves," Dr. West reflected in her inspiring for Change.
