2020 Welcome Back Happy Hour – MIT Women+ in Chemistry

On Tuesday, February 3rd, WIC hosted a Welcome Back Happy Hour at Vester for first years, their WIC mentors, and general members of WIC. We were happy to catch up with our friends and touch base with our mentees before the spring semester picked up. WIC would like to thank 3rd year Grace Ahlqvist for planning the event.

About

Women+ in Chemistry (WIC+) is a group that uses the lens of gender to guide its support of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in the Department of Chemistry. Our mission is to foster a sense of community in the department, facilitate connections with the greater community, support the professional development of department members, and advocate for people of all genders and for gender diversity in the department and the entire chemistry community.

The language “Women+" indicates that WIC+ welcomes anyone who identifies with our mission, which may include cis and trans women, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized on the basis of gender. We welcome allies to join us in centering the voices of those whose gender identities are underrepresented in chemistry.
