WEM is a group of students that wants to promote a sense of belonging for women-identifying students on campus, especially in majors where it can feel isolating. Freshman women-identifying engineers are paired with upperclass students as an immediate support system. WEM strives to promote supporting others: being the person that cheers someone else on, even when things get tough, academically or socially. To summarize, the program aims to align with the following mission statement:
Through training and strategic outreach, establish genuine and effective mentor/mentee relationships that support academic, social, and personal growth to build a network within the College of Engineering and the URI community.
