GWISE invites you to
the Women in Science and Engineering Conference at Princeton University.
The purpose of WISE is to create a forum where women in science and engineering
can come together to discuss issues that they face in their respective
fields, both as an underrepresented minority and as individuals.
We hope to
provide information about the pros and cons of working in industry vs.
academia as well as the pros and cons of choosing to go to graduate school
or directly into industry. We will also discuss about how to manage the
work-life balance, both in industry and academia as well as how one goes
about making her career choices.
