WISE Program Promotes Biodiversity Learning in K-12 Schools

This spring semester, the University of Arizona Women in Science and Engineering Program, or WISE, launched the Bio/Diversity Project.

Funded by a grant from the Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice, the Bio/Diversity Project is a collaborative effort between WISE, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and the Friends of Saguaro National Park to increase K-12 student access to environmental science curriculum, and also provide training to UA students.

Jill Williams, director of WISE, which is housed in the Southwest Institute for Research on Women in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, leads the two-year project.
