networking group for women in science, both at Penn State and nationally, and to provide Graduate Women in Science At Penn State

The Nu Chapter of Sigma Delta Epsilon


What is Graduate Women in Science?

We are an interdisciplinary society of scientists who encourage and support women to enter and achieve success in science through full participation in their scientific research and its applications; in the development and advancement of women; in the integration of their careers, personal goals, and society's needs; and by professional networking and mutual inspiration.

Mission Statement

The purpose of GWIS is to further women's interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, be a support and networking group for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics both at Penn State and nationally, and to provide a vehicle for women's recognition as scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. This organization consists of graduate students, post-docs, and faculty who are involved in technology, engineering, mathematics, and the physical, natural and social sciences.
