The GrOW initiative aims to organize a year-long orientation program for incoming graduate students identifying as women and gender minorities in Grainger Engineering. Our proposed activities aim to create an increased sense of belonging and confidence, areas with which graduate women in engineering often struggle. We plan to accomplish this through community building and professional development opportunities. GrOW has planned 6 events for the academic year (3 events per semester). Towards this goal, we have won the GIANT grant, co-funded by IBM-Illinois DAI, for the 2022-23 academic year to financially support organizing this program.
