Join us for after-work drinks and appetizers while networking with the MASS AWIS board members! All proceeds and donations from the event will go toward the MASS AWIS Scholarship Fund, which supports membership and career exploration.

MASS AWIS Member Scholarship provides financial assistance for unemployed or underemployed individuals seeking to join MASS AWIS to help with their professional development through the workshops and the networking opportunities that MASS AWIS offers.

All the profit of this event will go to the scholarship fund to allow our scholarship committee to support more women in STEM. Since 2014, we awarded 42 scholarships. Our scholarship program has been recognized by national AWIS, with an article in AWIS magazine last spring.

Throughout the years, many talented board members and volunteers have worked hard to establish MASS AWIS as one of the leading chapters of the Association for Women in Science and a great resource for women looking to build their career.

Come and network with many of our former and current board members, learn their career stories, and roles in MASS AWIS while helping to give a voice and empower women in STEM who need the help of our association and its scholarship program.

Registration
