Here is wishing everyone a wonderful New Year 2023 from all of us at GWIS! While we wait for the New Year to bring us many more joys, challenges and successes in overcoming those challenges, why don't we take another look at all the wonderful memories accrued over the holidays? |

Let's kick things off with Annual Holiday party hosted by the St. Louis Chapter Graduate Women in Science... including a Christmas sweater contest winner!
We're sure the event was super fun and look forward to more exciting events from them this year!

The GWIS Auburn Chapter recently put up pictures from their Jr. Mad Scientist 2022 event. This year was also a huge success attributed to all the curious little kids showing up. Mad props to the exec team and a huge shoutout to the volunteers for spending their time and effort to organize and engage with budding young scientists and keeping the fun of science alive!! |

The PennState University Chapter Graduate Women in Science hosted their 1st Annual Cultural Exchange Potluck Dinner in an effort to foster newer connections across departments. What a wonderful idea to make new friends and grow networks this holiday season!
The only request they had for the guests: "bring a dish and a story to share, and come ready to make new friends across departments".
We hope to see many more events like these, promoting the exchange of ideas and possibly encouraging new, scientific collaborations along the way! |
