USC VITERBI WOMEN IN ENGINEERING

Supporting all women in engineering disciplines

About

- What We Do -

USC’s Women in Engineering (WIE) offers professional, academic and social services to the women of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. The goal of WIE is provide resources and overall support that will address the unique challenges female engineers face. WIE’s mission is to allow our female students to find personal and professional success, both during their time at USC Viterbi and beyond.

Our events, programs, and resources are open to all women in Viterbi, so simply sign up for our newsletter and follow our social media to get involved!

WiE MENTOR Program

The WiE MENTOR program pairs first year and transfer female students with a female sophomore, junior, or senior student. The program aims to provide first year students with a source of support and guidance while helping to build community among all Viterbi women. WIE mentors will inspire students and help increase the retention of women in engineering.
