The Women in Science Program (WISP) was created and is administered by the Office for Women's Affairs (OWA). WISP develops and implements programs to attract, promote and retain women in the science, mathematics and technology fields at the undergraduate, graduate and faculty levels. WISP sponsors the visits of distinguished women scientists, sponsors research development grants, facilitates mentoring and student support groups, and sponsors a student research day.
The program's long-range goal is to create a positive learning and working environment in which women in science, mathematics and technology can thrive and succeed. To that end, the Office for Women's Affairs works with an advisory board of several women faculty and graduate students that represent all of the major science programs on our campus.
