"The Grad WiE Network provides so many opportunities to engage with your peers as you navigate being a graduate student and the unique experience of being a woman in engineering. The network has provided me with a greater sense of community with the graduate students here at Purdue and helped me with the transition from undergraduate to graduate school."
