  • The Challenge

    Women continue to be underrepresented in science and engineering. The situation is even worse for underrepresented minority groups – Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and American Indians or Alaskan Natives. Those underrepresented in a discipline lack the network, support and advocates available to others.

    The Challenge

  • Motivation & Vision

    We are committed to strategically broadening and expanding WiSE’s impact, through initiatives designed to train students for technical & scientific careers. WiSE is not only a premier diversity & inclusion program, but it is an opportunity for industry leaders to be at the fore-front of USC’s effort to increase diversity within the global workforce.

    Motivation & Vision

  • Our Focus

    Scholarship and fellowships are an important source of funding designed to help students meet their educational and research expenses. The importance of providing these resources are critical, serving as WiSE’s motivation for building a professionalization program around such support.
