WIC+ Executive Board – MIT Women+ in Chemistry

The Women+ in Chemistry Executive Board oversees all WIC+ events, programs, and initiatives. Executive Board members act as departmental representatives in CGSC (Chemistry Graduate Student Committee) and also meet with the Department Head and Visiting Committee Members to discuss matters of interest and concern to women in the department.

Our mission is to foster equality and embolden women in our department, at MIT, and in our community.

The WIC+ Executive Board leads monthly planning meetings for all of WIC+. If you would like to join or have comments or suggestions, email us at wicplusexec@mit.edu.

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 of any identity to join us in centering the voices of those who are underrepresented in chemistry.
