Join colleagues developing a new advocacy group at UMaine:
Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine (WiSTEMM)
WHAT is WiSTEMM?
A group of women faculty seeking to engage colleagues in shaping the culture at UMaine. Help us delineate the role of this new group to effectively serve our campus.
We are currently recruiting volunteers to participate by serving as faculty officers for WiSTEMM (President, Vice President, Secretary).
WHAT can members expect?
WiSTEMM, in partnership with the Rising Tide Center, will participate with AWIS, the Association for Women in Science. On campus, we seek to provide networking opportunities, professional development resources, seminars and other relevant events, and a unified voice for issues affecting women in STEMM fields across UMaine.
HOW can I learn more?
This semester we will conduct two public meeting to discuss initiation of this group, and to solicit input from the UMaine community.
WHEN: Tuesday November 29 · 1:30 to 3:30 pm
Wednesday December 7 · 10 am to 12 noon
WHERE: Memorial Union BUMPS Room (Nov. & Dec. meetings)
