Women in Science and Engineering

Located in Sellery Hall, the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) residential learning community is a stimulating environment, where motivated women interested in science, technology, engineering, or math make strong academic and personal connections with each other as well as UW–Madison staff and faculty who share their interests. As a WISE resident, you will benefit from having a personal academic and social network within the setting of a large research university. WISE participants often develop mentoring relationships with faculty members and Madison-area professionals as well as meaningful friendships with each other.

What's great about being WISE?

• WISE women are leaders at a Big 10 Research 1 University.
• The feeling of mutual respect between peers makes finding friends and group study easier.
• The weekly seminar is a great opportunity to explore interesting topics. All WISE residents are expected to enroll in the WISE seminar.
• A variety of fun events, such as the science of chocolate, behind-the-scenes industry tours, theater and concert performances, and travel to Minneapolis, Chicago, and Milwaukee for unique experiences in culture and science.
