1. What is WISE?
Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) is a student organization dedicated to increasing the participation of women in the science community. In recent years, we have sponsored course reviews, student mixer events, speaker series, research symposiums, and graduate school information nights.
2. Why should I join?
There are many benefits to being a WISE member. Firstly, membership enables your inclusion in a friendly, well-known community – you can make friends and a contribute to a better society. Secondly, members receive discounts at many external outlets, such as courses at Renert and Kaplan, as well as the Stör, Bound & Copied, and the Den and Black Lounge. Thirdly, you need a membership to attend a WISE Event.
3. How can I volunteer for WISE events?
The best way to get involved in WISE is to get in touch with our Executive Committee.
The executive meetings for WISE are open to the public and take place from 3pm-4pm on Wednesdays during the school year in our lounge in Science A 120. The office is across the hall from SA 119.
You can also join our mailing list. To sign up, send an email to the club at womense@ucalgary.ca.
4. Do I need to be a woman to be a part of WISE?
No. WISE is an equal opportunity group that includes and values both men and women.
