WISE began as a way to build community amongst female graduate students in science and engineering. As we have evolved, our goal has changed to providing a space for personal and professional development for graduate students of all genders in the STEM space. 

WISE supports graduate students of all genders, especially those underrepresented in STEM fields. Specifically, we provide professional and social development opportunities by creating a support system and an active dialogue focusing on issues unique to women and non-binary scientists.

We are a very open organization without formal membership or meetings. WISE's goal is to provide a community for folks who need it, when they need it. We hope to see you soon!
