Welcome to WIMSE
So there's been some debate lately over whether or not women are well-suited for math and science careers. I think we have an opportunity here at Case to show that women indeed can pursue such careers - and even *excel* at them. I'd like to highlight the incredible women - faculty, students, staff, and alumni - here who are leaders (or future leaders) in math, science, and engineering.
One of them, Heather Morrison, an astronomy professor at Case, is an advisor for WISER (Women in Science and Engineering Roundtable) and when she's not discovering new galaxies, she's working hard to build a community here that provides mentoring and coaching of future female scientists and engineers.
There are a number of campus groups and resources that exist at Case to provide a supportive environment for Case women interested math, science, and engineering. So in talking with various people on campus, we've decided to build a Web site and blog that could link us together. It's all a work in progress, so we welcome your active input in helping to build our community.
Welcome to WIMSE!
