Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) Breakfast Series

What are you doing on Thursday, September 1st from 7:30-9 AM?  If you're in the Milwaukee area I hope you will consider attending the first meeting of a series of monthly breakfast meetings.

This breakfast series will focus on the attrition and resiliency of women engineers based on findings from a study conducted earlier this year.  This study, completed by the Center for the Study of the Workplace, found that most women leave the fields of engineering and science because of the workplace climate.  Not what I would have expected but I've been fortunate in where I work.

The theme of this month's meeting is "How to be Heard" and will be presented by Mindy Ochs, P.E., Western Lime Corporation.  The meeting will be held at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's downtown facility located on the 7th floor of the Grand Avenue Mall.  You can park in the Grand Ave Mall parking structure and the parking will be validated at the 7th floor reception desk.  The meeting will be held on September 1st from 7:30 - 9:00 AM.




The breakfast meetings will be held on the first Thursday of each month.  The cost is $60 for professionals and $20 for students (click here to register).

I'm going to be in China for the first meeting but I plan to be at the future ones.  I hope to see you there!
