Joint Lunch Panel with GWiChe!

WIC was awarded a Quality of Life grant by the School of Science for a collaborative professional development lunch series throughout the year. The first event was held on 10/30 with the Graduate Women in Chemical Engineering (GWiChE). The topic of this lunch was networking and a panel with professors from local institutions with different types of research environments and student populations. We had six professors at different stages of their career and with different paths to getting there join us: Profs. Nav Nidhi Rajput (Tufts), Eranthie Weerapana (Boston College), Deborah Perlstein (Boston University), Sara Rouhanifard (Northeastern), Heather Clark (Northeastern), and Abigail Koppes (Northeastern). Attendees enjoyed meeting professors and peers over lunch, followed by a very informative panel with the professors to learn more about their career paths and experiences. A huge thank you to the local professors who came over to MIT for this event, and to Christine Isabella (WIC) and Maddie Dery (GWiChE) for organizing!
