Wayne Women in STEM Profiles
Beginning in January 2021, we started to work on building and strengthening our network of women in STEM at Wayne State by asking them a series of questions – the responses to which we will share on this blog! We hope you enjoy learning about these amazing women faculty and consider reaching out for comradery or collaborations.
Wayne Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (WISTEM)
The goal of WISTEM is to provide women working in STEM fields on campus opportunities to network, to learn more about the projects that other women in STEM at WSU are working on, to possibly set up new collaborations, to learn about career challenges that some of us may be experiencing, to provide and accept guidance and mentoring in an informal setting, and hopefully to have some fun too!
For more information or to join the list-serv for this informal group on campus send an email to: Dr. Lori Pile, Dr. Christy Chow or Dr. Ratna Naik.
Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS)
The Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) group at Wayne State University School of Medicine aims to advance women at all career levels within academic medicine and science by addressing gender equity, recruitment and retention, awards and recognition, work-life balance, and career advancement by actively engaging with all members of our community regardless of gender. WIMS hosts events open to all interested men and women faculty, staff and students within academic medicine and science to help achieve these goals.
Queer Faculty and Staff Organization
The Queer Faculty and Staff Organization (QWSU) is an affinity group (advisory to Associate Provost Marquita Chamblee) that aids to create spaces and programming for LGBTQIA+ folks working at Wayne State University by tackling concerns and being a voice for all queer initiatives on campus. All are welcome to attend our events, regardless of identity.
The WSU College of Engineering Women in Engineering Executive Leadership Society brings together College of Engineering women alumni from diverse backgrounds with a common goal: to empower women student engineers at WSU College of Engineering. It is the intention of the Leadership Society to build enthusiasm for women in the engineering, engineering technology, and computer science professions to help our community and beyond. The executive leadership society has more than 30 members; you can visit this site to learn more about the members and their educational and professional achievements. To join the society or to nominate a woman engineer, please contact Kris Theisen, Senior Director of Development at 313-577-8576.
