WeSTEM is a forum for graduate students (of all gender identities and backgrounds, but especially women and underrepresented groups) to inspire one another to become leaders in their fields and to fuel their motivation to pursue their graduate degree in tackling the technological challenges of today's society. The conference is also an excellent opportunity for prospective graduate students to network with current graduate community members to discover what Illinois has to offer.
