NE GWiSE is having its first annual Spring to Action event! This year, it
will be a forum addressing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education, hosted by
Tufts University School of Medicine. The goals will be to discuss and
understand the issue of sexual harassment in STEM, learn and share
information concerning the current policies addressing this issue at our
schools, discuss what policy changes we would like to see at each school,
and develop a plan of action moving forward to collectively advocate for
policy change.
Through concrete and collective action, we hope to improve the culture
surrounding sexual harassment in higher education. We welcome current and
alumni graduate students of all genders who are interested in addressing
this issue to attend!
