About this Event
We hope that this message finds you safe and well. As the 2020-21 academic year begins, our initiative remains committed to providing career and professional development opportunities to support local early-career women in STEM. Hence, our monthly mentorship program, STEM Circuits, will kick-off virtually this fall on October 21st. As COVID-19 continues to present unique challenges to our well-being, this first event will focus on developing tools and strategies for work-life integration.
Chicago Women in STEM Initiative is very pleased to announce our guest speaker, Leslie Lundeen, Northwestern University Well-being Manager, who will discuss stressors and stress management strategies for academic scholars at all stages. Next, we will break-out into small groups to discuss our own experiences and strategies for work/life integration with a group leader, i.e. the speaker, or invited STEM mentors.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Chicago Women in STEM Initiative team
