Thanks to Universum's work, the gap between employers and university students is closing. The Universum Student Survey takes your responses and uses them to provide you with an in-depth review of who you are as an applicant, suggesting employers and industries you may not otherwise have considered. This powerful tool will give you an edge in the job search process. The best part? It's free and only takes about 15 minutes!  Make sure to take the 2015 Student Survey in order to let your opinions be heard! (http://uledge.co/mit)

Women in STEM (panel)
Tuesday, January 27, 3:00-4:30pm, 4-153
In Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), women continue to be underrepresented despite increased efforts to expose women and girls to the STEM field. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Report, Women in STEM: A Gender Gap to Innovation, women represent only about 25% of workers in STEM and earn 14% less than what men in the field earn. In addition, women experience unique challenges throughout their careers that differ from their male counterparts, such as lack of mentorship and work/family life balance, etc. Come learn from our panelist how they have succeeded in their respective disciplines, what challenges they faced along the way, and what special issues you will need to consider as a woman in STEM.
