5th Annual Women in Science Conference

The month of March 2022 offered NEIU students the opportunity to celebrate the successes of women and their accomplishments within many disciplines. During March, topics such as human rights, women of color in politics, Trans Day of Visibility resource pop-up, and women in science were showcased through talks, fairs, and speakers. 

The Independent had the opportunity to sit in via Zoom with Doctor Ann Ross’s event Women in Science: Informal Discussion with Students. The event took place in person and via zoom, there were at least a dozen faculty and students in attendance. The event took place from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on April 1st, 2022.
