Let's break the binary this Women's History Month and center the narratives of our gender diverse engineering community! Join PERSIST(Σ) and oSTEM at UIC as we welcome non-binary and trans engineering students and alumni as they share how their culture, identity, and community impact their experiences in engineering. We'll have an open and honest conversation about how we all can uplift the contributions of gender diverse folx in STEM! This event is virtual; the event link will be shared 24 hours before the program with participants who RSVP for the conversation.
About the program:
PERSIST(Σ) aims to create identity-affirming spaces to promote the participation and persistence of women and nonbinary people of color in engineering at UIC. Join the Equity in Engineering Program (EIEP), Women in Engineering Programs (WIEP), and the Women's Leadership and Resource Center (WLRC) to learn more and be part of this exciting initiative for meaningful change!
