A week of activities focused on the importance of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics kicks off Oct. 7 with workshops, presentations and training opportunities for members of the campus community.

Haley Knighten, chemical engineering major and event organizer, said this year's programming continues to build on previous efforts.

"This year, we are very excited STEM majors across campus are represented in our student and faculty committees," she said. "We are grateful for how much the Women in STEM Week events have grown from last year, and we are pleased to involve the community in multiple events."
