Women in STEM (WiSTEM)

Women in STEM (WiSTEM) is broadening participation in STEM by creating an inspired and curious community of confident STEM leaders. WiSTEM leads exemplary and nationally recognized pre-college and undergraduate student STEM programs with a longstanding history, such as the Consider Every Option (CEO) High School Day Camps, STEM Girl Day at UT Austin, and the WiSTEM Externship that inspire, connect, and support students in STEM majors across campus and beyond. WiSTEM’s university-wide outreach, recruiting, and retention STEM programs for pre-college and undergraduate STEM students are designed to increase STEM identity, self-efficacy, and a sense of belonging and lead to increased undergraduate retention/persistence, graduation rates, advancement to graduate school, and persistence in the STEM workforce.
