Beyond the First Year

wins students in the lab

WINS offers a variety of innovative programming designed to complement the academic rigor of an undergraduate level science degree plan. These programs allow WINS students to participate in enriching activities with their mentors and peers, while still accommodating the demanding schedule of an undergraduate student in the College of Natural Sciences. WINS Undergraduate Programs include:

WINS Program:

WINS is a living-learning environment of 45-50 first-year students which creates a support network and atmosphere conducive to young women pursuing successful careers in science. After their first year, students stay involved through mentoring and continued attendance at relevant programming and events designed specifically for this special group.

Development Workshops

WINS sponsors development workshops aimed at promoting academic, professional, and personal success. Topics have included locating and obtaining summer research opportunities, developing successful study skills, understanding non-traditional careers in science, building a science resume and more.

Leadership Development and Volunteerism

WINS sponsors outreach programs and events designed to stimulate the scientific curiosity of elementary, middle, and high school age girls. WINS students gain valuable leadership skills and give back to the community through active participation in the coordination and operation of these events.
