Women in Optics (WiO)

As one of the first diversity and inclusion focused STEM clubs at the University of Arizona, we’re on a mission to build a college culture that helps all of our students to achieve their full potential. As a student-run club, we focus on both the retention and professional development of all students in the college, as well as the recruitment of diverse and talented future optical scientists.
