Graduate Women in Course 6

About

Mission: To provide EECS graduate women with an environment in which to develop mentorships and friendships and to gain support and encouragement in completing their degree.

GW6 was founded in 2001 as a student group across the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. The group focuses on the personal and professional development of women in the EECS graduate program. We organize a variety of social and professional events throughout the year. These events are a great way to meet students from across the department.

Thanks go to Leslie Kolodziejski, Janet Fischer, and past GW6 officers for their excellent counsel and to the EECS Department for their continuing financial support!
