weSTEM @ NYUAD

weSTEM at New York University Abu Dhabi is a Student Interest Group that supports women, non-binary individuals, and male-identifying allies interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

Our mission is to increase the participation of women and non-binary individuals interested in the STEM fields

To achieve this mission and build an empowering community, we focus on four areas:

1

Creating an environment that encourages a culture of allyship and support for one another.

2

Demonstrating the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the STEM fields and creating cultural change across NYUAD and beyond.

3

Supporting students in their academic and professional careers by providing networking and leadership development opportunities, mentoring, and resources.

4

Inspiring young students in the region to learn more about STEM fields by hosting workshops and conferences.
