Society for Women in Graduate Studies in Chemistry and Biochemistry (SWIGS)
The mission of SWIGS is to foster a community among STEM women, in order to help women achieve success during and after graduate school. They work towards this mission in three areas: 1. Professional Development: organizing seminars, networking opportunities, and other events for preparation in post-PhD success; 2. Well-being: improving mental and physical wellness through community activities, social gatherings, and individualized mentorship; and 3. Outreach: mobilizing women to teach and inspire young scientists from underrepresented groups.
