Women in STEM

The Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program is a recent addition at the Women’s Community Center. We are excited to support and help build the emerging network of Women in STEM student groups on campus. In addition, we hope to provide relevant resource material and programming for all Stanford students interested in pursuing  a STEM related major and/or career. Please contact Women in STEM coordinator Celina Malave for more information.

The 2015 Women in STEM Symposium was a great success. Visit http://wiss.stanford.edu for more details.
