Rutgers: Women in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

Welcome! This website seeks to serve as a resource for women in science fields and later to describe the status of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at Rutgers University. We will keep you up to date about programs and initiatives for women in STEM fields at all levels, from the undergraduate to the senior scientist. We hope you will find information that will make your career paths easier, facilitate collaborations between women and men about our common issues, and open dialogue across the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities.

We hope to provide a forum for discussion in future, and we look forward to hearing your comments and feedback about our website.
