Coffee Hours
2-3 Events per Quarter on the UCSC Main Campus
​
WiSE organizes coffee hour events in order to provide an informal venue for members to meet each other and learn. Each coffee hour usually has a specific topic related to our mission of encouraging the advancement of women in STEM fields. All UCSC undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, staff, and faculty are invited to WiSE coffee hours. So come to our next event to enjoy some free coffee, tea, and snacks, while networking with other WiSE members and learning about something new!
