All Invited to 'Women in STEM Night' Thursday, Feb. 16

All Aggies are invited to “Women in STEM Night,” 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, in the Biology-Natural Resources Building (BNR) Atrium and Auditorium. Admission is free.

The gathering, hosted by the Utah State University College of Science student-led Science Council, will feature a question-and-answer session led by a panel of faculty, graduate student and undergraduate women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. The event also includes staffed tables with information about USU and community resources for women, as well as a prize raffle and refreshments.

“This is an opportunity for Aggies to ask all kinds of questions about women in STEM fields and to access helpful information,” says USUSA Science Senator Gabriella Cale. “We’ll also have a lot of fun.”

The gathering takes place during celebrations of February’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which was adopted as a worldwide observance by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2015. The observance promotes full and equal access and participation of females in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
