The Women in Graduate Science (UOWGS) organization at the University of Oregon strives for gender equality by focusing on the professional development of women and anyone identifying as a marginalized gender in all disciplines of science to enable them to become successful contributors to their fields.

This mission is accomplished by informative workshops, inspirational speakers, and a community outreach program. All of our events are open to everyone! In addition, the organization provides social support for our members at the University of Oregon, and offers financial support with yearly scholarships.

The UOWGS invites all who encourage and support the advancement of women and marginalized genders in science to become members and to help in our work towards an inclusive science community. The UOWGS is supported by the Graduate School, generous donors, and fundraising events. UOWGS is also dedicated to the support and equal treatment of LGBTQ scientists. All UOWGS meetings and events are dedicated safe spaces.
