9th Annual Winter Benefit

Please join Women in Graduate Sciences for our 9th annual Winter Benefit on Thursday, March 9th at the Ford Alumni Center on the UO campus. We are hosting two back-to-back events, designed to provide an in-depth and engaging evening celebrating women and all marginalized genders in STEM! From 5-6 pm, join us for a cocktail hour where local community members are invited to learn about WGS’s initiatives, mix with our members, and hear from former WGS scholarship recipients about their research and experiences during a brief panel discussion. Then stay for the main event from 6-8 pm, where we welcome everyone for a buffet style dinner, silent auction, and lively seminar titled “Being a coral biologist during the climate crisis: Grief, hope and the importance of discovery in developing climate solutions,” by Dr. Virginia Weis, a marine physiologist with a focus on coral-algal symbiosis at Oregon State University. As the annual WGS fundraising benefit, the event offers a sliding scale of ticket prices ($30 for students, $70 for non-students, $130 for two tickets, and $500 for an 8-person table). RSVP here by March 1st to attend this event. Please share this information and the attached flier widely. If you have any questions please email Erin Jezuit: ejezuit@uoregon.edu
