Peer Mentor Program

Mentoring happens at many levels. The WISP Peer Mentor Program matches new students interested in STEM fields with more experienced students who can show them the ropes.  Sign up to be matched at dartgo.org/wispmentee20 by 9/18/20.

Internships

WISP internships match women interested in STEM fields to on-going faculty research projects. They expose students to research in action.  Research opportunities for First Years will shift to starting in Spring 2021 at the earliest, due to all '24s being off campus during Winter term

Wetterhahn Science Symposium

The Wetterhahn Science Symposium celebrates undergraduate STEM research at Dartmouth each spring.  Due to the COVID-19 Response, the 2020 Wetterhahn Science Symposium was canceled.  Looking forward to 2021!
