The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Association for Women in Science is hosting roundtable discussions on challenges for women in STEM fields from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct 1 in the Nebraska East Union, Prairie Suite. Participants are welcome to bring brown bag lunches. Dessert and refreshments will be provided.
At the event, participants will have the opportunity to network and engage in roundtable discussions on a variety of challenges that women in STEM encounter in their professional and personal lives. Tables will focus on a specific topic of interest, such as mentoring (both as mentor and mentee), navigating career transitions, navigating power differentials in one’s career, dual-career issues, integration of work and parenting, and other life challenges. At a set time, attendees will be encouraged to move to a different table so that they can participate in different discussions as they wish. During the final portion of the event, attendees will share highlights of their roundtable discussions. Raising awareness and encouraging problem-solving around these issues are goals for the AWIS organization as well as for the campus.
This event is open to all faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students. Registration is not required. Please contact awis@unl.edu for more information. Learn more about AWIS on its webpage and check out upcoming events on its calendar.
