Earlier The University’s official account published a tweet sharing a short clip of Roberts with her graduation hat and gown.

During World War II, Kathleen Roberts was working 72 hour weeks while being paid less than men doing the same job. Following her campaign to get the city’s Women of Steel recognised, Kathleen has been made an Honorary Doctor of Engineering at 100-years-old this afternoon.

On This Occasion, she expressed her feelings “It was such a surprise when I first heard I was to be given an Honorary Degree in Engineering, but I feel so honored and privileged to accept it on behalf of all those Women of Steel who contributed to the war effort.

“During the Women of Steel campaign, I had the pleasure of meeting some female engineering students who will now be well on their way to an engineering career. My advice to students would be to get as much hands-on experience as they can. You can’t learn everything in a book.

“But most of all, embrace every opportunity that enables you to follow your dreams.”
