NUGWC facilitates internal social and networking opportunities for current and prospective members. We believe the greatest resource available to our community is the comradery of other members and alumni. These social events help foster connections for female technologists in both academia and industry and include painting, succulent planting, cookie decorating, and happy hour chats.
