Description:

We are very excited to invite you and your members to virtually join us for our 4th annual Chicago Women in STEM Symposium during the 9-12th of March 2021, coinciding with a week-long celebration of International Women's Day. This year's theme will be STANDING UP and STANDING OUT, and through this Symposium we hope to celebrate local women in STEM, build a community of local students and professionals who are passionate about promoting the advancement of women in STEM, provide opportunities to share struggles and successes with like-minded scientists, and gain perspectives from influential invited women leaders. Highlights of the program include an interactive workshop with Sally Helgesen, panels with academic and industry participants, and additional seminars by leaders in science communication and biotech to help participants develop tools to stand up for themselves, be a leader for others and to stand out in today’s society. Our keynote speaker is Dominique Carter, PhD, Agricultural Science Advisor, USDA. Using her trademark passion for science and charismatic personality, “Dr. Dom” will highlight the importance of being your own best cheerleader, advocating for yourself and your career as a woman in STEM. The week will conclude with a Virtual Networking and Professional Development will facilitate virtual interactions between early career women, volunteers, speakers, facilitators, and local female role models from academia and industry, as well as highlight the support of our exceptional sponsors. Check out our eventbrite below for further details, and hope to see you there!"


Early Bird registration is $5 until Feb 28. $5 ticket is for the whole week.
