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.
