Holiday Hot Chocolate and Crafts! – MIT Women+ in Chemistry

On December 16th, WIC held a community holiday event filled with hot chocolate, coffee, and crafts! It was an opportunity to relax away from the stress of lab, classes, and TAing while enjoying a cozy drink. With mugs, chocolates, and other sweets, grad students and postdocs made gifts and cards for their mentees, friends, and staff members.

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.
