Women in Science and Engineering

Celebrating the 08-09 WISE Year! Join WISE and decide what we will be celebrating in 09-10!

The Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Residential Learning Community provides an environment where women interested in science, technology, engineering, or math can make strong academic and personal connections with students, staff, and faculty who share their interests. Participants benefit from having a small academic and social community within the setting of a large research university. WISE participants have the opportunity to develop mentoring relationships with faculty members as well as friendships that can last a lifetime.
