R. Patterson (above) knew early on that
she was mechanically inclined,
starting with helping her father work on
cars. Today, Patterson is one
of three
female
U.Va.
employees who have defied the cultural
stereotype that electrical and plumbing
trades are
“man’s work.” Patterson learned her trade
as a certified electrician
through
U.Va.’s Apprentice Program, which
combines on-the-job training and classroom
work. Now, among other duties, Patterson
tests and maintains 37 generators the University
has ready in case of an electrical outage. Full
