About WISE
WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) is a faculty group dedicated to educate, advance,
and mentor women in the pursuit of STEM-related fields at MVCC.
Organization goals
- To provide a support network for women in STEM fields.
- To raise awareness of the gender gap in STEM fields and the unconscious bias against women in these fields.
- To seek out role models of successful women in STEM fields for mentoring and speaking opportunities.
- To make MVCC a place where women can feel comfortable entering STEM fields.
- To make connections with local schools to let young women know that they can succeed in STEM at MVCC.
