Happy First Day of College Wolverines! WISE is so excited to see you all on campus.

Here's to a successful and memorable fall semester!

08/28/2026

Join WISE Faculty Director, Dr. Elena Gallo, for drop-in office hours!
- Thursdays from 9-10am @ 311D West Hall

Elena Gallo, WISE Faculty Director and Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Michigan is opening her door (real or virtual) for informal one-on-one or small group drop-ins. No agenda, no slides, no jargon. Just conversation, and probably some unsolicited life advice.

She'll bring the real-life stories (including the ones that didn't go well), a bit of humor, and zero filter. Elena was raised by a single mom, has crossed an ocean to do STEM, and has been the only woman in the room more times than she can count. She's here to talk about all of it — the wins, the spectacular failures, the weird politics of academia, and how to pick yourself back up when things don't go as planned.

Come with questions, come with venting, come with nothing at all. Topics can range from research and career strategy to imposter syndrome to what it's actually like to build a life in science. No question is too small, too personal, or too "off-topic.” If you’re interested in chatting, drop her an email at [email protected]

Today is Women's Equality Day!

August 26th commemorates the 1920 adoption of the nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits denying the right to vote on the basis of s*x.

WISE celebrates the progress made for gender equality and strives to support ongoing activist efforts.

As a busy new semester begins, it can be both exciting and overwhelming--building new routines, figuring out where/how to get involved, or dealing with a fresh wave of imposter syndrome.

Practicing mindfulness can help!

Mindfulness is defined as the practice of being aware and present in the moment by focusing on your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings.

This can include mindfulness breathing , mindfulness body scan, and mindful walking. Swipe through to learn more!
