The mission of the UMass Association of Women in Science (AWIS) Club is to encourage and support women in the fields of science and technology, especially those pursuing leadership roles that tend to be male dominated. Though our focus is on campus, we also extend our efforts to the Town of Amherst as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Using our strategic position as college students we intend to transcend generations by learning from professionals already in the workplace as well as passing our current experiences to middle and high school aged girls. We plan activities such as professional development workshops, hosting talks by high-achieving professionals, and working with the younger generation. Through advocacy, service, and professional development, UMass AWIS seeks to develop a strong network for all of its members.
