Holiday Cheer and Spring to Action II

Written By New England GWiSE

Happy Holidays from us to you!
Thank you Brown University for hosting our December meeting. We had a productive discussion, and managed to sneak in a holiday party while we were there!

Attendees gather around a conference table to plan and socialize.

Check out our NE GWiSE holiday coasters! This craft was the brain-child of our Professional Development Chair Kristina Wright. We had a great time designing these and holiday cookies.

At the meeting we finalized a date and location for our second annual Spring to Action Summit! This year the event will focus on mentorship and relationships in grad school and STEM.

The purpose of this summit is to help schools identify mentoring-related programs, provide resources for their implementation, improve current programming, and devise metrics to quantify the impact of programs. The day will include an inspiring keynote speaker, panels of mentees discussing their experiences, a mixture of workshops, and an optional mocktail hour for networking and socializing!

Mark your calendars for Saturday April 6th, and stay tuned for more details!

Want to be involved in the Spring to Action Summit? Sign up here to help join a planning committee!

New England GWiSE

NE GWiSE is an alliance between GWISE groups from universities across New England. We are joining together to support and celebrate women and gender minorities in STEM fields, to increase awareness of the issues we face, and create change within our community. We support ideas and actions to increase diverse gender representation in STEM departments, create fair and positive workplace environments, increase the support and mentorship students receive, and enact equitable university and federal policies. Through advocacy, diversity, outreach efforts, and networking opportunities, as well as collective actions and supporting developing GWISE groups, NE GWiSE works to advance policies and programs across New England to promote equality and improve the experience of students. All members of the graduate community are welcome to become NE GWiSE members and attend our events.
