The WiMSE (pronounced whimsy) Learning Community provides academic and social support for female students majoring in, or especially interested in, the math, sciences or engineering fields, including math and science education, science writing, etc. Living with students who have a similar interest and drive to succeed is a benefit for the women in this community. Students form study groups, they interact with faculty and student mentors who can provide useful information, and they create a community of friends who explore campus life together.
The WiMSE Seminar
This first year experience (FYE) WiMSE seminar course focuses on introducing students to campus life and the resources available to support women in the sciences. Faculty guest speakers will introduce students to different fields and topics. Students will get to know faculty and staff, as well as each other better, enabling them to develop a rich support system to help them navigate their next four years of school.
