What Do You Get When WISE Women Take to the Labs? Real-World Research
Young women undergraduates who are considering careers in research were given a paid summer opportunity to work in a research laboratory at UC through the
Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)
Research Experiences for Women Undergraduates (REWU) program.
The 22 women worked in a variety of scientific and technical labs, including engineering, health and physics. They were paired with faculty mentors and received a stipend for their work in the lab. They also receive coaching and instruction in areas beneficial both to their college careers as well as to their professional careers, such as presentation and writing techniques.
The final presentations take place from noon to approximately 4 p.m. today in 427 ERC. Please stop in to encourage these young women at the start of their careers.
