The Stanford Women's Community Center and WISE Ventures have teamed up for the first student-organized, campus-wide Stanford Women in STEM Symposium, a culmination of various interests and efforts to bring the larger Stanford community together to celebrate the contributions of women in STEM fields. This student-initiated and -organized one-day event will include participation from a broad range of academic departments, student groups, and alumni.

The goal of the symposium is to celebrate progress, to build awareness of the key issues and challenges women in STEM face, and to create a vision for the future through a series of speakers, panels, and workshops. We hope to provide an engaging educational opportunity for people of all genders, identities, and backgrounds to explore important topics affecting women in STEM and to equip attendees to become agents of change. All Stanford students, postdoctoral scholars, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni are welcome to attend.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis at http://wiss.stanford.edu/.
