Women of Science Symposium

“We are women studying together,” Maria Mitchell told her Vassar College students. Maria Mitchell, America’s first woman astronomer, believed in learning by doing and the importance of women's education, particularly in the sciences.

The Maria Mitchell Women of Science Symposium (MMWSS) is designed to serve as a source of inspiration and support and to be a hands-on experience in which all attendees are actively participating and problem-solving. Keynote speakers, panels, and salon-style gatherings offer a unique environment in which all voices can be heard and encouraged. Participants connect with colleagues and mentors and devise strategies to encourage and keep girls in STEM and support women in STEM at the beginning, middle, and late career stages.
