England (BC, BU, Brandeis, Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, NEU, and Tufts). We are joining together to support and celebrate women-identified graduate students in STEM fields, to increase awareness of the issues we face, and create change within our community.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>What do we do:
</b>NE GWiSE advocates for graduate women at our partner schools and in the New England area! This past year we
<b>focused on sexual harassment and Title IX policies.</b> We've been working with Title IX and student-advocacy offices at our partner schools to figure out how we can improve campus climates. We had our Spring to Action event on March 3rd at Tufts to discuss
the current problems and climates, what we think could be improved, and how to ask for those changes at our schools. We are also trying to help other schools form school-wide women's groups (like GW@MIT) if they don't already have one. We helped Tufts GWiSE
form this year and are currently working with BC. </span></div>
