About

Attendees of the very first AWIS@UCI event!

The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) is a national advocacy organization championing the interests of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) across all disciplines and employment sectors. At the national level, AWIS touts a membership of more than 100,000 individual members and 80 chapters and affiliate groups across the country.

AWIS unites women and men through our nationwide network of chapters and partnerships with aligned professional organizations. Our success is dependent upon the diversity of our members, our corporate and institutional partners and our sponsors — all of whom are committed to the advancement of women’s leadership in STEM.

The major initiatives of AWIS at UCI include:
– Outreach
– Social events
– Mentorship program (The Inner Circle)
– STEM spotlights
– Family support
– Professional development
