WiSSC Virtual Meet & Eat, 4/03

On Wednesday, April 3rd the Women in STEM Student Council (WiSSC) hosted our second Meet and Eat of the semester – Creating Your Community. While the event was originally intended to focus on how to create a support system as a woman in STEM, WiSSC modified the event to take place over Zoom, and address challenges people may have been facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WiSSC focused providing tools maintain a positive social network, and discussed ways to maintaining one’s mental health during this time. We were joined by Jennifer Wilson of CAPS, who helped us identify strategies and campus resources that could help us during this time of social distancing. We were able to create a space for people to come together, share experiences, and help each other during this unexpected and trying time.
