The WREN Summit was held on December 4th, 2021 in the Curry Student Center. We had 60+ student attendees, 7 student researcher presenters, and 10+ speakers. Missed the Summit this year? Check back next fall to register for 2022.
If you are a female faculty member at Northeastern interested in finding a qualified student to help you advance your research or creative project, we can help.
Any member of the Northeastern University community was invited to attend the WREN Summit, including students, faculty and staff. You did not be need to be involved in research to attend the WREN Summit, as the event engaged with topics relevant to women in all fields and disciplines. In particular, our events promoted discussions related to work/life balance and women in the workplace.
At the Summit, female-aligned undergraduate women presented their research findings during our poster session. To be eligible to present their research, they must have either been a member of the WREN Scholar or Fellow programs. To learn more and apply, explore our "Get Involved" page.
