Women in Science and Engineering residence program (WISE RP)
Living. Learning. Excelling.
The WISE RP is an academically supportive living-learning community for gender-minoritized students who are interested in academic majors and careers in the sciences, mathematics, engineering and/or pre-health.
WHO WE ARE
We assist in students’ transition to the university by providing social activities, career development programs, community service, and programming opportunities. Each student is paired with a Peer Mentor and is encouraged to participate in the WISE RP facilitated study groups.
As a community, the WISE RP endeavors to be an exemplar for other STEM living and learning communities (LLCs). The WISE-RP serves as a catalyst for transformation! It is a space that affirms and celebrates difference, and empowers change agents.
