Welcome Women in Science An Organization Promoting Friendship, Leadership, Mentorship, and Science Yale's Women in Science, is an organization of undergraduate women, committed to the advancement of awareness and interest in academic and professional opportunities in science. Its goals are to promote friendship, leadership, mentorship, and science. WIS allows students to build relationships by serving as a social support for women interested in health and science. An open forum is provided for discussing issues, yet it also serves to promote a network of interpersonal relationships. WIS also seeks to promote leadership by encouraging young women to take initiative and learn to lead.
Members also get a chance to be part of a working community.
An equally integral part of the organization is mentorship. Through intimate dinners and panels with academics and professionals, as well as interpersonal relationships between younger and older students, WIS serves to guide women in science as they make life decisions, and seeks to spark their intellectual curiosity.
