women in science
Welcome to the homepage of Women in Science, a group of students (male and female)
who are dedicated to academic success
and the advancement of women in the sciences.
Our club was created in the spring of 1995
by a few enterprising physics majors who
thought that a resource on campus for female scientists
would be a pretty nice idea.
While we are still in the process of defining our goals, we have already
spent time mentoring middle school students in
the sciences and introducing Whitman and the Walla Walla community to the physics of dance. Our current interest is to
bring science demonstrations to local elementrary and middle schools.
If you are interested in Women in Science and would like to learn
more, you may be interested in joining our listserv. All you need to do
is e-mail
Megan Leich and
she'll set you up right away. We typically post upcoming meetings and
events on the listserv, and in the future we hope to include these
announcements on these web pages.
In the meantime, clicking on the mosquito will take you to our
summer-research page, a far-from-complete listing of the internships held
by present and past members of WIS.
If you have time, check out this new
web site for up-and-coming
scientists that Kelly Ray (our past President) sent!
The current officers are:

Palmer (98)
