WiC is important to me because…
The only way progress can be made is if students from underrepresented communities unite to overcome barriers and make our chemistry community a safer environment for those who follow after us. WIC has given me the opportunity to participate in this movement to make the culture at UW-Madison more welcoming for future female students.
