Who we are
As outlined in the Provost’s Message, there is a need to integrate women fully into the academic sciences and engineering. Part of the initiative to retain the talent pool of highly trained women in a life long science career is to have information resources specific to your needs readily available. Whether you are a first year student seeking the mentorship of other female undergraduates or a new faculty member looking for an online community of women in academia, consider this website your one-stop resource.
