This series will give STEM women a chance to informally gather, get to know one another and to discuss topics – technical and personal – that are important to them. Coffee, tea and dessert will be provided.

Each week of the month will focus on a different theme; this week's session will be a Coffee Talk for women of color.

Future topics:

1st Thursdays: Coffee Talk about Career Prep

• Women are invited to stop by throughout the hour to ask questions about anything job related including how to improve their resume, how to prep for interviews, or how to conduct a job search. These coffee talks will start with a short 15 minute talk on a career-related topic.

2nd Thursdays: Coffee Talk for STEM Women of Color

• Graduate women of color will lead this hour as a chance for both undergraduate and graduate women of color to come together to share unique experiences as minorities in your various STEM fields. 

3rd Thursdays: Coffee Talk with STEM Female Faculty

• Female STEM professors will share their stories and offer advice on how to succeed as a female engineer, scientist or mathematician. Meet various female faculty members in an informal setting and ask questions you may not be able to have answered in the classroom.
  • April 19: Dr. Ayanna Howard, School of Electrical & Computer Engineering

4th Thursdays: Coffee Talk for COE Graduate Women

• Graduate women studying engineering are invited to have the unique opportunity to gather to meet women from all engineering disciplines to share their research and academic experiences, as well as to get to know one another on a personal level.

The series will be held in the Clough Commons Lounge (Room 205 next to the Starbucks) on Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. from January to April.
