WISE at Syracuse University is an innovative program designed to enhance and support the professional development and persistence of women faculty and students in the sciences and engineering.  

Researchers have coined the phrase “leaky pipeline” to describe the nationally high attrition rate of women who enter college majoring in the sciences or engineer.  The number of women students who graduate or pursue tenure-faculty and academic leadership positions drops off significantly over time.

 

Student involvement and commitment makes WISE one of the most successful women’s programs at Syracuse University.  The benefits to students include:

 

L earning about careers in science, engineering and technology from experienced people.

E asing the transition into college and the workplace.

A dvancing knowledge and skills through  mentoring and research opportunities.

R eaching maximum potential in school and in the world through supportive WISE programs for students.

N etworking with other people in science and engineering at Syracuse University and in the field.
