This September WISP is established a Women in Science
Student Group. Its primary purpose is to support women in science
by creating a positive environment for group members to interact.
In addition, the group will reach out to other women and girls in
the community to encourage them to pursue futures in science. Group
activities will include social events and community service opportunities.
Participation will be both fun and rewarding. Are you a woman pursuing
