May Meetup Success!
The Rutgers WIT Group met up in person a few weeks ago. We had a great time distributing SWAG, getting to know one another, and finishing up with some FroYo at the local shop under the beautiful sunshine! Our working group is going to meet up again shortly to come up with future meeting dates for possibly the end of the summer, and a session for this fall.
We Received the Seed Grant!
Congratulations to the Rutgers Women+ in IT group which has received a Rutgers Newark Chancellor’s Impact Seed Grant for 2022. The award of $25,000 will go towards two initiatives to develop STEM in the Newark community. Rutgers – WIT Receives Seed Grant – Learn More
