Wendi Heinzelman, Amy Lerner, and Beth Olivares

Friday, January 6th, 2023 at 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

Held via Zoom

This workshop will discuss the progress we’ve made at the University of Rochester and LLE with respect to the representation of women in STEM fields. We will also consider some of the challenges identified and recommendations made by the Commission for Women and Gender Equity in Academia. Our discussions will highlight a few best practices and resources available for women students, faculty and scientists. Through our conversations, we hope to frame our goals for the potential for women at LLE in the future.

This talk will be open to all of LLE

An accompanying workshop over Zoom featuring breakout sessions to discuss points brought up during the talk as well as LLE-specific concerns will be held on Monday, January 9th, 2023 at 11:30 am – 1:00 pm. This workshop will be open only to members of WISE-LLE.
