Alumnae Lunch Series – MIT Women+ in Chemistry

WIC+ organizes lunch events with alumnae of the Department of Chemistry. We aim to feature alumnae who chose a variety of careers after studying chemistry at MIT. These events are a great opportunity to learn about non-academic careers, and also help you make contacts outside the department.

Past invitees have included the following:

Erika Ebbel Angle (Founder, Science from Scientists non-profit organization)
Dana Buske (Environmental Consultant with Tech Environmental)
Jennifer Fortune (Management consulting for healthcare companies, Boston Consulting Group)
Judy Fox (Vice President of Product and Preclinical Development, Sunesis Pharmaceuticals)
Kathy Lee (Medicinal Chemist, Pfizer)
Paula J. Olsiewski (Program Director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation)
Judith Selwyn (President, Preservation Technology Associates, Inc.)
Shana Sturla (Associate Professor at ETH in Zurich)

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.
