Welcome to Women in Science at
Cornell.
Women in Science at Cornell (WISC) supports Cornell women interested in science and related careers through opportunities for networking, career education, and community service. We also strive to increase the number of women entering science fields, and to raise public awareness of the contributions of women to science.
We hold monthly meetings, each with free food and a "woman in science" guest speaker from the Cornell and Ithaca community. We also volunteer at Ithaca Sciencenter, the Museum of the Earth, participate in many other campus and community events. In the past, we have sponsored a physician/veterinarian panel, a "couples in science" dinner, and helped raise money for the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance. In Spring 2005 we will be sponsoring a 5K run to help raise money for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation.
We need your time, talent, and energy to help build this organization!
On Sunday, April 23, 2006, Women in Science at Cornell will be putting on
its second annual Terry Fox Run. The Terry Fox Run is an annual event in
more than 50 countries that has raised over $360 million for cancer
research since 1980. Cornell's second Terry Fox Run will be a 5km
run/walk through the Cornell Arboretum. No fee to enter, nor any minimum
for pledges collected, but participants are asked to try to raise and/or
donate $20. Registration is held on the day of the run, beginning at
10:00am; the run will begin at 11:00am with a reception to follow. Directions to Cornell Plantation: Click here Arboretum Map: Click here (and please look for #4 on the map).
