Department News
Join Us for our First WINS Meeting of the Semester!
WINS is organized by graduate and post-doctoral women in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. Our mission is to support the success and retention of women in the natural sciences. On Wednesday, September 30th at 1 PM, grab some coffee in the new cafe on the first floor of the new Institute of the Environment Building, and join us in the indoor seating area to brainstorm events/acitivites for the new school year! What would help you be a happy, fulfilled, effective and productive scientist? How can we make the natural sciences more inclusive with respect to gender (and also race, orientation, etc)? People of all gender identities are strongly encouraged to attend all events sponsored by WINS.
