The Women in Science project at Dartmouth started in 1990 to encourage more women to continue their interests in the sciences, math and engineering. The Project offers paid research internships for first year women, special science seminars and other programs and services such as career workshops, discussion groups, panel discussions, field trips, a study room and study groups, and upperclass women mentors. The WRC provides opportunities for reflection, engagement, and personal growth, with a particular emphasis on honoring women s voices and encouraging the full, active, and equal participation of women in the life of the College. Central to our mission is the recognition that explorations of gender must take place in tandem with explorations of race and ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation and other significant aspects of individual and cultural identity. We strive to build a campus-wide community that respects differences and to support the College's diverse communities.
