Women in Science and Engineering

If you are a woman interested in STEM fields, then WISE is the place for you! The Women in Science and Engineering Integrated Living and Learning Community (WISE) is a community of learners who take classes together, live together, and have fun together.

The shared courses will provide a platform for scientific exploration and discussion.  In the WISE ILLC, you will interact with science and engineering faculty, upper- level students, and professionals.  You will be surrounded by other students with interest in science and engineering and experience a support system to help foster success and community.  Plus, it’s a lot of fun. Through the WISE ILLC, you will build personal and professional networks that will last a lifetime.

Students: Open to all women STEM majors such as sciences, mathematics, engineering, and health science.
