Reoccurring Current WISP Events
Speaker Lunches/Coffee Breaks
WiSP pulls from the SESE Colloquium and SESE Engineering Coffee speakers lists to host lunch or coffee break times where students can meet with female/non-binary identifying speaker guests. These meets are an opportunity to connect and network with a speaker about their experiences in STEM. Please come with questions! If you have someone outside of the department you would like to suggest, please email us!
Movie Nights (via Zoom)
This is an inclusive event for all ASU students, staff, faculty, etc. who are interested in attending. WiSP will be hosting a monthly movie night online through Zoom and Teleparty (formerly NetflixParty).
To participate, be sure to have Teleparty loaded into your Google Chrome Extension and be sure to have access to a Netflix account.
If you have future movie suggestions please shoot us an email at wisp.asu@gmail.com or post in the Slack!
Swim Team & Gym Buddies
Sometimes it's just really hard to stay active by yourself. In an effort to promote "accountabili-buddies," WiSP has started by making a small swim team that meets weekly at a minimum. In addition to this, we're hoping to encourage members to make their own groups to stay active together.
