Advancing Women in Science and Engineering (AWiSE)

The AWiSE program was created by UCLA graduate students in response to the observation that while women comprise a significant percent of the student population in science and engineering graduate programs, they are underrepresented in leadership roles in academia and industry. AWiSE addresses this disparity through offering training, education, mentorship, and community service opportunities to support women in STEM. The program aims to encourage members to be advocates for diversity in their careers, and ultimately break down existing gender barriers through: 

•    Events to raise exposure of successful female leaders within the industries of science and engineering
•    Mentoring to increase support of next generation leaders and promote exchange across career stages
•    Inspiration to encourage men and women in all career stages to value diversity
•    Resources to educate about and prepare for career challenges
