About Us

This club serves to bring together a community of women (and their allies) who aim to uplift each other while developing confidence and literacy within the STEM disciplines, through outreach to the community, advocacy for equality, and mentorship. Women in STEM aims to create access and opportunities, with experiences such as presentations by leading women from various STEM institutions and industries, organized workshops for graduate/professional school preparation, résumé building and interview preparation, lunch meetings with female faculty from BSU, outreach to the community through STEM workshops for Girl Scouts and students in public schools at all ages, advocacy for equality within academia and the workplace, mentorship matching programs, confidence-building strategies, as well as bringing awareness and open conversation to other important intersectional issues that the STEM community faces.
