W.I.S.E. Mentoring Program
Women in Science and Engineering Mentoring Program
The goal of the WISE mentoring program is to build a network of support on campus. Through a series of workshops and social events, participants are paired with a one-on-one mentor and placed in a mentoring family, creating a strong sense of community and support. Come be a part of a program that fosters personal and professional growth.
I love mentoring the women because it is such a valuable opportunity to provide guidance to future generations of STEM majors. I want every woman to feel welcome at Dayton and comfortable to be themselves.
Participate in workshops to gain valuable tools and techniques to help navigate common experiences shared by women in STEM majors.
Be paired with an upper class mentor and placed into a mentoring family, providing mutual support and encouragement.
From casual meetups to themed gatherings, forge connections and friendships outside the formal mentoring workshops.
Celebrate wins and enjoy food at our events featuring games, prizes and plenty of fun activities.
Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers
Our theme for the 2024 - 2025 school year is "WISE Mentoring: Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers". We will focus on forming more personal connections, breaking down barriers of inadequacy and self-doubt, and shifting from viewing each other as competitors to collaborators.
