Women in STEM Q&A

Ask current students who are Women in STEM questions about academics, campus life, what it means to be a woman in STEM, and more.

STEM disciplines have been predominantly filled with male educators and students. Now, women across the world are paving their way towards careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. In this Q&A session, we'll ask a panel of current women in STEM students from a variety of colleges about their experiences in their field. Webinar attendees will also get to participate in the second half of the Q&A.

Q&A Participants:

Courteney Mattison is a sophomore at NYU, majoring in Biology and minoring in Computer Science with the goal of becoming a bioinformatician. Currently, she lives in upstate New York and when not in school enjoys hiking, yoga, and playing with her dog, Willow.

Aditi Kiron is a rising junior at the Rutgers Honors College in New Brunswick, New Jersey. She is a Mathematics major on the Actuarial Sciences track, minoring in Economics and South Asian Studies.
