Today we held a discussion about where we want WESAM to go over the next year. We decided upon more professional outreach, interspersed with coffee chats on interesting articles that we find. We also spent today discussing what we as women can do to help with the recruiting of women and minority PhD students to the department.
This sounds like a productive meeting! It’s great WESAM is focusing on both professional development and recruitment. Networking is key, especially for women and minorities in STEM. Have you considered using LinkedIn to connect with potential mentors or recruiters? If you face issues, don’t hesitate to call linkedin customer service for assistance with your profile or search. Building those connections can really make a difference.
