NYC Women in STEM was created through the efforts of a handful of women who noticed a dire need for female academics and professionals to find one another in an environment dominated by men. The prime goal: building a strong network of support and collaboration with other women who have faced similar challenges along their career path.

The organization has evolved to accommodate the members’ interests in expanding their cross-disciplinary knowledge and refine their career-advancement toolkit. Ultimately, this creates a safe space for both equal-level and mentor-mentee relationships within the group.

To avoid creating an echo chamber, we encourage open debates by occasionally bringing to the discussion table groups with dissimilar backgrounds.

An ever-growing community, we have crossed the boundaries of the city of New York and now receive members from the larger New York Metropolitan Area. 5 NYC Women in STEM members leaning over a museum display case.

Engine for networking

Being the only woman on the team can be challenging. We provide a platform for women from various disciplines of STEM to come together, seek support and collaborate for success through various networking events and mentorship opportunities. The organization has evolved to accommodate the members’ interests in expanding their cross-disciplinary knowledge and refine their career-advancement toolkit. Ultimately, this creates a safe space for both equal-level and mentor-mentee relationships within the group.

Gender Equity

Despite on-growing awareness of gender disparity in STEM fields, there is still a long way to seeing a quantifiable change. Through our workshops and panel discussions we explore ways to lead the fight to equal opportunity at the work place.

A Learning Experience

Today’s fast-paced work environment often requires flexibility, adaptability and inter-disciplinary knowledge. Our book club allows members to engage in discussions on the latest technologies and scientific advances, explore new tools and receive direct feedback from professionals in the field. 9 NYC Women in STEM members gathered around a table for a book club
