About the Grad Girls Program 

The Grad Girls Program is a flagship initiative of Women 4 STEM, designed to inspire and empower female, gender diverse and non-binary students to explore careers in STEM. The program features engaging workshops, interactive careers expo, panel discussions, and webinars, culminating in impactful events. Across the 9-month Program, participants connect with STEM professionals, gain hands-on experience, and envision themselves in STEM careers 

 

Role Overview 

The Student Engagement Support ensures students are informed, supported, and engaged throughout the Grad Girls Program.
