WiSTEM, the National Center for Women in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (www.wistem.org),
is proud to be working with NASA Ames Research Center and DeAnza College
to present "WOMEN IN SCIENCE: No Limits", a series of free lectures
featuring accomplished women from the scientific arena. We invite you to
join us in learning how each of these women is making a positive impact
in the world. By attending, each of you also supports or serves as an
important role model for women and girls in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM).
The WiSTEM collaborative currently includes seven national women's
organizations who share a common vision for advancing the representation
of women and girls in STEM: the Association for Women in Science (AWIS),
the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), the Institute for Women
and Technology (IWT), the Math/Science Network, MentorNet, the Society
of Women Engineers (SWE), and the Women in Engineering Programs &
Advocates Network (WEPAN). You can find out more about WiSTEM's plans at
