INTRODUCTION
The Women in Science & Engineering Program Residence Program is an undergraduate living/learning program which seeks to support undergraduate women in academic majors and future careers in the sciences, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics fields. It provides students with academic support, a community of peers in similar majors, and leadership opportunities through participation in a variety of activities and networks.
Women in Science & Engineering Program Residence Program Resident Advisors live in Mosher Jordan Hall and are responsible for assisting the students on their floor, in the program, and throughout the building.
