About WISE

WISE formed in the fall of 2004 with the mission of ascertaining the needs of the female faculty in science and engineering disciplines within the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and Engineering at Boston University. Our goals are to
  • provide opportunities for women faculty members in science and engineering to network, mentor each other, and access leadership training,
  • provide opportunities for female graduate students in science and engineering (GWISE) to network and be mentored,
  • speak with a united voice about work climate concerns,
  • inform administrators at Boston University about best practices for recruiting and retaining faculty members, and
  • assess the progress in diversity at Boston University.
WISE has implemented mentoring, leadership, and faculty advancement workshops. WISE works closely with the Boston University Council on Faculty Diversity and Inclusion and the Committee on Equity and Inclusion of the Faculty Council.
