says. "Last year alone, over 300 people
came to our events. We help our students build networks, find friendships,
and gain access to resources they might
not know exist."
Danowski says the group wants to
share their model of operating with
the community so that other universities can form similar groups. "We want
to continue to provide amazing events
and opportunities for our members,
and we want to work more with our
administration to change policies at
the university to make it easier for our
members to have positive experiences
in graduate school."
Danowski would like to impart
some final wisdom for women in the
STEM fields. "As a woman who has
studied science and engineering for
12 years, I want women to know that
while it isn't always easy, it is worth it,
and you can do it. If you're frustrated
or having difficulties, you're not alone,"
she says. "One of the key factors in my
success thus far has been that when I
was the only woman on the team, or in
my class, I have reached out to other
women to form a supportive group.
In undergrad, there wasn't a group of
women in my department, so a few of
us got together and started one. In grad
school, there wasn't a group when I got
here, but when I heard people talking
about starting one, I jumped in and
got involved. My point is, get involved.
Being a part of these communities has
enriched my time in school in a way
I couldn't have imagined. My fellow
officers in these organizations have
become lifelong friends and colleagues
who understand my struggles in a
way that very few others can, and they
support me through thick and thin.
Getting together to celebrate each other's successes makes everything that
much sweeter."
