BU Women's Professional Development Committee

WPDC Mission: The Mission of the WPDC is to provide a supportive space to host professional development opportunities for graduate-level women in science at Boston University through establishing and cultivating a network of exemplary mentorship with women in a diversity of scientific careers. All students and faculty are welcome to join our network including men interested in supporting women in STEM! Vision: Our Vision is to connect established career women in science, initially focused in the Boston area, with our graduate school level women in science early on in their careers so that they can use their years in graduate school to appropriately explore their career interests and options with ample support and become successful mentors themselves. With a supportive network of female leaders in their fields willing to share their experiences with our incoming generation of professionally trained women scientists, our expectation is that forging these relationships will inspire our graduate-level women scientists to explore and navigate possible career paths and prepare for next steps in their careers of interest in both an informed and educated way.
