Register for Summer Retreat 2019!

Written By New England GWiSE

Registration for our annual Summer Retreat event is finally open!

This year, we hope to bring fresh thinking and approaches to the subject of diversity, inclusivity, and intersectionality.  Our theme, “Empowering Individuals to Foster an Inclusive Campus Climate,” aims to engage the audience on how the campus climate can and will affect each one of us, and that every one of us can make a difference through unilateral and collective action.

All affiliates of all genders are welcome! Light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and coffee will be served throughout the event. Spread the word by sharing out flyer!

The day will include: 

  • Inspiring keynote by Dr. Banu Subramaniam (Professor at UMass Amherst, author of Ghost Stories for Darwin: The Science of Variation and the Politics of Diversity);

  • Workshops on diversity and inclusion;

  • Panel-style Q&A session featuring students and staff who have been a part of successful diversity initiatives at their schools; and

  • Social hour

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.
