Affinity Groups

Particpation in an Affinity Group is an informed way for a woman within a specific area of scientific interest to meet and discuss issues relating to her coursework, graduate schools, jobs, and life in general. There are currently ten Affinity Groups. Each group has a faculty advisor and student coordinators.

Contact Anne Fabricant , the WiSE affinity group student coordinator for more information about affinity groups.
