The University of Calgary’s Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) was established in 1990. With over 1,300 members, we are one of the largest student-run organizations on the campus. We are devoted to promoting diversity and equality in the science and engineering disciplines.

WISE fosters a diverse and inclusive environment where students can promote gender equality and equal participation in science and engineering, so that students succeed in Science and Engineering Programs, play an important role in the workplace, and make valuable contributions to society.

WISE strives to provide a support system for science and engineering students through our Academic Achievement and Professional Development Programs, and to inspire others to join the fields of science and engineering through our Community Outreach Program.
