<strong><span style="font-family:Arial">ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM</span></strong><br>
The Scientista Symposium is a three-day conference that aims to empower pre-professional women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by introducing them to inspirational role models and by providing them with opportunities to
hone valuable skills. The Symposium will bring together approximately 300 undergraduate and graduate women from across the country. <br>
<br>
Our programming, themed "Scientistas Stand Up! Becoming a Leader in STEM" will cover a range of topics from research to business to social good. It will include inspirational talks and panels, a poster fair, and ample opportunities for students and professionals
to network.<br>

*If you are looking for funding, students have obtained travel grants from their university departments and student activities offices, so those would be great resources to keep in mind.<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:Arial">CALL FOR ABSTRACTS</span></strong><br>
What makes the Scientista Symposium truly unique is our platform for women in STEM to present their original research to a national audience of peers and judges. The process of presenting one's work on a national forum is an invaluable opportunity that can
help instill confidence in young women. We are encouraging students currently involved in research to submit an abstract for the “Poster Fair” portion of the symposium. We would greatly appreciate if you could pass this message to any students you think applicable,
particularly college seniors who are writing theses. <br>
<br>
Students may submit their abstracts <a href="http://wisewordsmagazine.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7151035624221fc772f3ff2eb&id=ac2f1c64ae&e=383466760d" target="_blank">

<strong><span style="font-family:Arial">ABOUT SCIENTISTA</span></strong><br>
The Scientista Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that empowers pre-professional women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through content, communities, and events. Our mission is to address the lack of resources, community, and role
models for college women in science and engineering. Scientista serves to connect all communities of women in STEM at campuses across the nation and internationally, giving such important organizations more visibility and resources, and building a strong,
cohesive network of women in science that can act as one voice. Scientista is currently the largest network of campus women across STEM disciplines with chapters and affiliates at 15+ universities across the country and internationally<br>
